Hi , and welcome to CentOS
first , you should move the post to the correct forum , there is a spacial
forum for Oracle here . as for the problem , just install xserver , and your problems will be gone
or use quit install , follow the documentation
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e10840/toc.htm

Welcome to the [i]CentOS[/i] fora.

This thread has now been moved to the [i]CentOS 5 - Oracle Installation and Support[/i] forum.

Please follow [b]yyagol[/b]'s advice and if still experiencing difficulties, post again with full details of how the installation fails.

I should mention that usage of [i]CentOS 5.3[/i] is deprecated and, consequently, is not supported as [b]5.4[/b] has been the current release for quite some time. I would urge you to update your system [i]before[/i] reattempting the [i]Oracle[/i] installation. Please see the [url=http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.4]CentOS 5.4 release notes[/url] and follow the guidance at the bottom of Section #4, to avoid any possible [i]glibc[/i] complications.

make sure you have your 'oracle' user

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS to set up your groups and directories! This is not a plug an play program. Also make sure you set your parameters and kernel sizes.

If you are having issues will java errors it has to do with Xwindows (local or remote)

su - root
xhost + oracle

maybe 'xhost + localhost' or url

test 'xclock' under both

if it doesn't work make sure your have xlib-* installed

if you can't get 'xclock' to work you are probably missing xlib, xorg-x11-* as well

Good Luck,
