You configure the listener to use the correct ORACLE_HOME on the server-side (the database and network binaries), what version of the client you are running is handled through your path. You need to ensure that you are using oraenv and setting your ORACLE_HOME correctly before using the client tools. When you "echo $ORACLE_HOME" each time what do you get?
That would be the first place to start. :)

I have a solaris 8 server with 2 oracle homes. One is 9.2.0.6.0 and the
other 10.2.0.1.0.
When I go to my client (from my desk) and login with SQL*Plus I can't get it
to use the "SQL*Plus Release 9i..." from the 9i instance.
It wants to use the 10g version of sqlplus! How do I configure my
listener.ora to use the 9i sqlplus
with the 9i instance and the 10g sqlplus with the 10g instance?
Below is the Listener.ora definition:
[oracle_at_host] /apps/oracle/tns$ more listener.ora # listener.ora Network Configuration File: /apps/oracle/tns/listener.ora # Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host)(PORT = port))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
)
)
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = /apps/oracle/product/10.2.0)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
)
(SID_DESC =
(ORACLE_HOME=/apps/oracle9i/product/9.2.0)
(SID_NAME=orcl9i)
)
)
Here is an example of me logging in from my client with sqlplus:
SQL*Plus: Release 10.1.0.2.0 - Production on Tue Apr 4 15:48:57 2006

BANNER
Any help is appreciated!
