My first Oracle installation....yup, having problems!

I'm trying to get 8.0.5.1 to run on Linux. I've installed the glibc patch and ran the installer to create a basic database. The problem is that the installer bombs when it issues the CREATE DATABASE statement.

The logs are showing ORA-12545, ORA-12546 and ORA-03114. Here's an example:

| Ok: Oracle Server Manager Release 3.0.5.0.0 - Production
| Ok:
| Ok: (c) Copyright 1997, Oracle Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
| Ok:
| Ok: ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
| Ok: SVRMGR> Password:
| Ok: Password:
| Ok: ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
| Ok: LCC-00161: Message 161 not found; product=SVRMGR; facility=MGR
| Ok:
| Ok: ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
| Ok: create database "mti"
| Ok: *
| Ok: ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE
| Ok: ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
| Ok: SVRMGR> Server Manager complete.

It looked to me that the instance wasn't up so I tried to fire up the instance manually with with lsnrctl and start listener. I get:

Message 1070 not found; No message file for product=NETWORK, facility=TNSTNS-12546: Message 12546 not found; No message file for product=NETWORK, facility=TNS
 TNS-12560: Message 12560 not found; No message file for product=NETWORK, facility=TNS
  TNS-00516: Message 516 not found; No message file for product=NETWORK, facility=TNS

   Linux Error: 13: Permission denied

I'm not sure what "Permission" was denied.....
