Try putting $ORACLE_HOME/lib at the start of your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. If this is a first installation then you'll have to point it at the installation CD/tape lib directory. This has worked for me on Solaris 2.X.
Also make sure $DISPLAY is set correctly, something like 199.228.187.50:0.0 where 199.228.187.50 is your IP address.

Good luck. Received on Tue Sep 16 1997 - 00:00:00 CDT
