Make sure that an X Server is available for display and is configured to permit X Client
applications to display from the host on which they are installing the Network Advisor Server
(typically, this simply requires that the systems console be present and running with a logged in
user on the X Server-based desktop session, such as KDE, GNOME, and so on).
Make sure that the DISPLAY environment variable is correctly defined in the shell with a valid
value (for example, to display to the local console, export DISPLAY=:0.0, or to display to a
remote system that has an X Server running, export DISPLAY=
You may also need to consider a firewall that might block the display to the X Server which
listens by default on TCP port 6000 on the remote host.
To display to a remote system you need to permit the remote display of the X Server by running
command xhost +IP, where IP is the IP address of the Network Advisor server host from the
X-based desktop of the remote system.
Make sure you test the DISPLAY definition by running the command xterm from the same shell
from which you run
install.bin

Two versions of the Management application (DCFM, Network Advisor, or INM) cannot reside
on the same host unless there are two guest operating system's on the same host.
