Oracle 7.3.4 with 8.0.4

I am trying to have both Oracle 7.3.4 and Oracle 8.0.4 live together on my Solaris 2.6 system. I wound up loading 8.0.4 first and then putting 7.3.4 on the system.

I cannot access any 7.3.4 databases through the listener. I can get to them from the command line.

I understand that Oracle 7 isn't getting a shared memory segment, but I don't know what to do about it.

Here's the error message I get:

SQL*Plus: Release 3.3.4.0.1 - Production on Wed Dec 30 17:34:28 1998

ERROR: ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-07320: smsget: shmat error when trying to attach sga. SVR4 Error: 13: Permission denied

Here's the ipcs:

The 'oracle' user is the oracle 8 instance owner.
