Hi, anybody able to help me?

My system: Oracle 8.0.5.0.0 on S.U.S.E. Linux 6.1 with kernel version 2.2.5. When I start the listener (lsnrctl start):

  LSNRCTL for Linux: Version 8.0.5.0.0 - Production on 31-MAY-99 16:37:02

  Starting /opt/oracle/product/8.0.5/bin/tnslsnr: please wait...

  TNSLSNR for Linux: Version 8.0.5.0.0 - Production   System parameter file is
/opt/oracle/product/8.0.5/network/admin/listener.ora   Log messages written to /opt/oracle/product/8.0.5/network/log/listener.log

  Listening on: (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=ipc)(DEV=6)(KEY=ogn0))
  Listening on: (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=ipc)(DEV=10)(KEY=PNPKEY))
  Listening on:

(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(DEV=11)(HOST=195.78.164.136)(PORT=1521))

  Connecting to (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=IPC)(KEY=ogn0))   STATUS of the LISTENER

    ogn0 has 1 service handler(s)
  The command completed successfully

I wonder if there shouldn't be two other lines beginning with "Connecting to"
After startening the listener I started the Oracle Intelligent Agent (lsnrctl dbsnmp_start).
Then i request the status (lsnrctl dbsnmp_status):

  LSNRCTL for Linux: Version 8.0.5.0.0 - Production on 31-MAY-99 16:37:13

  The db subagent is not started.

Why does the intelligent Agent not start at all? I tried a link /usr/lib/libtcl.so on libtcl7.6.so and also on libtcl8.0.so, always
with relinking by "make -f ins_network.mk". Also I added the line "listener 1521/tcp" to my /etc/services. Here are now my listener.ora and tnsnames.ora files:
