DISPLAY not set. Please set the DISPLAY and try again.
Depending on the Unix Shell, you can use one of the following commands as exampl es to set the DISPLAY environment variable:
- For csh: % setenv DISPLAY 192.168.1.128:0.0
- For sh, ksh and bash: $ DISPLAY=192.168.1.128:0.0; export DISPLAY
Use the following command to see what shell is being used:
echo $SHELL
Use the following command to view the current DISPLAY environment variable setti ng:
echo $DISPLAY
- Make sure that client users are authorized to connect to the X Server.
To enable client users to access the X Server, open an xterm, dtterm or xconsole as the user that started the session and type the following command:
% xhost +
To test that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, run a X11 based program that comes with the native operating system such as 'xclock':
% <full path to xclock.. see below>
If you are not able to run xclock successfully, please refer to your PC-X Server or OS vendor for further assistance.
Typical path for xclock: /usr/X11R6/bin/xclock

Juma, could you provide some more information on what the issue is here that you're trying to resolve?
There are many issues that can cause those symptom, so goes my 2 cents.
1. Do you have a working X11? if you run xclock did you get the app running?
Look at this article https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/216813 there is a section about rpms and X Window System.
2. Are you doing remote or local install?
If you use Windows + Putty to remote install, search on google for "xming putty" and make sure you have X11 Forward enabled on /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
You need to install the "Desktop" RPM-group on your target system. If you don't have an actual framebuffer installed, you'll need to configure GDM to run headless and then use your X client to attach to it via XDMCP (OUI, when doing bare X-redirect of individual X-client windows doesn't always work well outside of a desktop context - thus the GDM/XDMCP recommendation).
Either that, or invoke OUI in tty-mode.
same case in oracle12c OUI, my solution:
export DISPLAY=:0
and works for me, on redhat 7.0
