Re: Installing Oracle 7.3.2 Workgroup Server on HP 715 running 10.20

Ok, I made a little more progress...

I executed the .profile after uncommenting DTSOURCEPROFILE=true in .dtprofile.
and changed the umask to 022

now, when I do
$ echo $ORACLE_BASE

    /usr/oracle
$ echo $ORACLE_HOME

    /usr/oracle/product/7.2.3
(I created that directory structure manually /usr/oracle/product/7.2.3)
$ umask

    022

But I still get the error.

PS: BTW, my CD is a oracle licensed copy. I got it from the MIS dept who are on updated version. He said "I'm not sure, just play around with the environment" [helpful eh] ;p

Anyway, still hoping, somebody did encounter the problem, and solved it. Please let me know asap. Thanks.
