hi Howard, thanks for the reply.
Yes, RH3 is running as guest under VMWare 4.5.2. XP host.
I put those env variable into oracle's .bashrc as described on dizwell
and I actually re-logged into Linux X desktop as "oracle" to do the
install but apparently those env variable didn't take effect. so
ORACLE_HOME was not seen. So I put them into .bash_profile as I did on
all previous installs I did.
In my silly confidence, emboldened with the dizwell docs, I did not take
VM snapshots. :(
