I am totally stuck even after reading both this and this (if it isn't already obvious I don't have much experience with Linux.)
I am trying to install WebSphere 8.5 on RHEL6. Everything was going fine with the Installation Manager GUI, then after IBMHTTPServer, Web Server Plugin, and WebSphere Customization Toolbox, I was unable to start the installation manager.
Searching the internet let me to believe that testing if even xterm worked would be a good idea and unfortunately it does not.
# whoami

# xterm
Warning: This program is an suid-root program or is being run by the root user.
The full text of the error or warning message cannot be safely formatted
in this environment. You may get a more descriptive message by running the
program as a non-root user or by removing the suid bit on the executable.
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s
I am connected to the Linux box using mobaXterm and the xterm command works fine on a cloned VM via the same connection.

# xauth list

Again, I am new to this so may not be understanding what is relevant, please let me know if I can post further information.
The IBMIM error (removed due to character limit):

Verification of xauth install and PATH (honestly I wasn't 100% that the below is sufficient, what is the difference between xauth and xorg-x11-xauth?, just need parent directory included in PATH?, etc):

xtermcommand should work as it does on the other VM... – user1896311 Mar 27 '14 at 22:08xlockorxmag? If you runssh -vinstead of justssh, does any message appear (see http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/117159/cannot-start-xterm-over-ssh-after-several-successes/117369#117369)? – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Mar 27 '14 at 23:35xlockorxmag. Ranssh -v, but did not see the“Rejected X11 connection after ForwardX11Timeout expired”mentioned in the thread... If you have any thoughts I would love to know. Thank you for the response...! – user1896311 Mar 28 '14 at 04:20{}button orCtrl+Kor 4 space indents), not quote formatting which wraps lines. If my answer doesn't help, please post the output ofecho $DISPLAY; xauth list | awk '{print $1, $2}'on the remote side. The output ofstrace xclockmight help too. Is a security framework (presumably SELinux) active on the server?

Is "tls" short for "thread local storage"? Is it possible that this is causing the problem, do you know how to reconfigure this on RHEL?
