Designer 4.7 GUI Install Issue on RHEL 7.5

[sjeet84]

About the Environment
RHEL 7.5 (Maipo)

What are we trying to do?
Installing Designer 4.7 on RHEL 7.5 using GUI installation method (as per https://www.netiq.com/documentation/identity-manager-47/setup_linux/data/t44hxf3fe2mn.html#)

Additional RPM's already installed on the RHEL 7.5 server for GUI
gtk2-2.24.31-1.el7.x86_64.rpm (following https://www.netiq.com/documentation/identity-manager-47/setup_linux/data/t44hxf3feach.html#t44hxf3feach)

What issue we are facing?
Getting a warning / error message while running GUI installation method and it tries to install in console mode

If installed using console mode, we cannot launch designer and use it in GUI.

./install -i gui

Graphical installers are not supported by the VM. The console mode will be used instead...

When performing console install, it gives message

Status: FATAL ERROR

And, when we check in install logs, then every step is successful except this last line that says...
Install File: /tmp/iamappdesigner/InstallPackages.sh
Status: SUCCESSFUL

Custom Action: com.novell.designer.install.ReplaceSpaces
Status: SUCCESSFUL

Custom Action: com.novell.designer.install.CreateRunAsRootScript

Modify Text File - Single File: InstallPackages.sh
Status: SUCCESSFUL

Custom Action: com.novell.designer.install.InstallBaseComponents
Status: SUCCESSFUL

Custom Action: com.novell.designer.install.DetectBaseComponents
Status: SUCCESSFUL


Show Message Dialog:
Status: FATAL ERROR

However, I can still find file structure installed. So, when I try run Designer, I get below error:
./Designer
Designer: Cannot open display:
Designer: Cannot open display:
Designer:
An error has occurred. See the log file
/tmp/iamappdesigner/configuration/1533553384170.log.

With log file, showing below error:

Looks like you are missing some dependencies (which are probably required for
the GUI installer as well). Do you have the 64bit GTK library package installed
that contain libXtst.so.6 and made sure it can they be found via
LD_LIBRARY_PATH?
Have a look at
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29741518/centos-error-libxext-so-6-cannot-op
en-shared-object-file-no-such-file-or-dir which suggests you might need to
install the libXtst rpm to fix this.
