I had to modify one of Oracle's installation scripts to get mine installed. I can't tell from the above if this is your problem or not, my guess is that you are experiencing the same problem.

To be sure browse the "install.log" file located in the directory where you told the installation program would be ORACLE_HOME.

The path to the log file would be $ORACLE_HOME/orainst/install.log.

If you see an error relating to the "maid_SCO32_...", let me know and I'll post my fix.
