sounds like your trying to su and run the installer..a few
ways to fix this:
1) make the directory you want to install it to and chown it so
your account can write to it and load the installer using your
account
2) ssh to localhost with the -X option (check to be sure X forwarding
is enabled on your SSH daemon /etc/ssh/sshd_config, if not, turn it
on and restart ssh). login as root(again check /etc/ssh/sshd_config to
be sure rootlogin is permitted, so ssh -l root -X localhost
3) find the 'nolisten tcp' option for the X server/display manager:
grep -nri "nolisten tcp" /etc/* and remove it, and restart your
X server and/or your display manager, login again and do this:
xhost +localhost
su -
export DISPLAY=:0.0
(run the installer here)
4) login to X as root and load the installer
maybe there is another way too, but those are the ones that come
to mind right away
