To avoid getting an error ‘can’t open display’ when running ssh -X <compute>, or when getting some error with the oraInstaller, solution is to install the following packages:
OL7.x
yum install xorg-x11-xauth xorg-x11-fonts-* xorg-x11-font-utils xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 xdpyinfo
If not enough, check the following values in /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost no
Then restart the ssh service:
systemctl restart sshd.service (OL7)
Optionally, on OL7, install the following prereq packages for OL7:
yum install compat-libcap1 libstdc++-devel ksh glibc-devel libaio-devel psmisc
Another option is to setup a full desktop as documented into this document.
OL8.x
dnf install -y xorg-x11-apps xorg-x11-xauth
