Thanks very much. The orainst.cm and orainst.motif do not work under Linux, but the same files from the WebServer trial CD do. I copied the whole 7.3.3-CD to disk, replaced these two files, and now everything works fine.

The WebServer trial CD has an older orainst, namely version 4.0.0.0.0 while the 7.3.3-CD has version 4.0.0.0.8.
