1. ping fbsrv to make sure the host can be found

2. it should be 'export DISPLAY', not 'export $DISPLAY'

3. make sure that an X server is running on fbsrv

how to test this varies from system to system.  If you
log on to the box in a graphical environment, then
X is running.

Normally I don't forward reader emails that I receive, but
in this case the problem seems to be urgent. Is there anyone
using AIX on this list that might have a solution for Alex

Sir,

We are installing Oracle 8i under AIX 4.3.3 but we encounter DISPLAY
variable error.
It read something like 'Can't connect to fbsrv server as the value of
DISPLAY variable. We followed the Oracle manual
by defining DISPLAY=fbsrv:0.0 and enter the command export $DISPLAY. We
also tried xhost +fbsrv command, but still we encountered the same error.

What shall we do? We need your help.

Thanks,
