I'm blind and I'm trying to install Oracle client software on a Red Hat Advanced Server machine. I did a silent and/or non-interactive install via an ssh window because the GUI doesn't work with my screen reader.

$ /home/oracle/Disk1/runinstaller -silent -responsefile
/home/oracle/file.rsp

It took me days to get it to go all the way through but eventually, I got the incantation just right. Or so it seemed. But now I'm getting the classic error "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name" when I try to connect to a remote DB via sqlplus.

ORACLE_HOME is set to /usr/local/oracle and there's a tnsnames.ora file in
/usr/local/oracle/network/admin/.
