On my 5.3 servers, I install xorg-libraries so I can run X clients on remote
X servers.  From a remote host use a command similar to:

xserver% ssh -Xf xclient.mydomain.com /path/to/install/directory/OracleInstaller

where: 
  xserver = your X workstation
  xclient = your server w/xorg-libraries installed
