• The $DISPLAY environment variable is not properly set.
• The necessary X Windows libraries for running the GUI installer is not available.

Resolving the problem

The solutions below relate to the causes above:

   See the AppScan Source Edition release Notes, which is included in the Docs directory of the installation files for infor Mation on installing this library.
   
2. Set your $DISPLAY environment variable to a valid DISPLAY.

If you is on a 64-bit RHEL machine, you'll also need to do the following:

1. Install the missing 32-bit dependencies via the following command:
   yum-y install libx11.i686 libxtst.i686 gtk2.i686 glibc.i686 libgcc.i686 webkitgtk.i686
2. Run the installation process with the system ' s default 64-bit JRE:
   ./setup.bin Lax_vm/usr/bin/java

   

If after performing the steps above the issue still persist, this could be variation of the issue where the issue is the Uni Nstaller is unable to open the display. To validate this issue is due to lack of access to the display, launch the installer without sudo. If the installer displays as the user this is an access issue to the display. If VNC is used to connect to the server and then the following command would need to be ran:

Xhost + localhost

If physically present at the server or if SSH is used to connect to the server with the following command:

Sudo-e./setup.bin Lax_vm/usr/bin/java

Tip: Restart the system after executing the command
