Apparently, in order to run the installer for 9i, it needs X. But, I

when I `ssh -X` to the box $DISPLAY is not set.
did you enable X-forwarding in the sshd-config ? afaik indeed only the
X-libraries are needed to make remote X over ssh work
For X-forwarding to work, you need to have /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth on your
server. That is, you have to install xorg-clients too.
