Cognos install on redhat(linux)

[pauly5s]

I am trying to install cognos on a Redhat OS in a lab environment. When I try to start the install with ./issetup I get the following error:

Reading archive information - /home/cognosbi/IBM_Cognos/untarred/linuxi38664h/setup.csp. Please wait...
Error: Can't open display {ipaddress}:0.0:

I have xquartz installed on my mac and prior to running ./issetup, I set the display using 'export =DISPLAY{ipaddress}:0.0'

Now the problem I have is that the cognos machine can't talk to my local machine ? tried ping and it doesn't respond.

Is it possible to install without X11 ?

this is my first time installing this and have been using the following instructions : https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/ibm-bi-capabilities/entry/ibm_cognos_bi_installation_configuration_on_redhat_linux?lang=en

Hi,

Yes, you can install without an X-Windows client. See the section entitled "Using an unattended installation and configuration" in the Installation and Configuration Guide:

Cheers!
