I have a problem when I try to install IBM installation manager into CentOS 6.5. I tried to install all versions of IBM installation manager (both remote from window and on GUI mode), but the same error occurred.

On the command line:

Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display "localhost:11.0"

In GUI:

Install:
JVM terminated. Exit code=13
/ftp/im//jre_6.0.0.sr9_20110208_03/jre/bin/java
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m

-Xgcpolicy:gencon
-jar /ftp/im/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20120522-1813.jar

Following google, I also tried to config X11 forwarding, GTK, change JRE path from install.ini, use console mode, but i still received those error.

Can somebody give me a solution?

Your local X server does not support the "RANDR" extension. Most likely this is because it's a Windows-based X server.

Try using a different X server, or better yet a Linux desktop (as all Linux desktops have this extension).

I know that on RedHat 6.5 these instructions have helped me. However I'm not sure whether your issue is the same:

Basically you need to add the following lines to your IBMIM.ini (equivalent of eclipse.ini):

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.useCairo=false
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.cairoGraphics=false
