ORA-01096: program version (8.1.5.0.1)

I'm trying to get Oracle 8i, patched to 8.1.5.0.1, set up on RedHat Linux 6.1 (intel) and have a problem with sqlplus:

$ sqlplus

SQL*Plus: Release 8.1.5.0.0 - Production on Tue Nov 16 17:33:30 1999

Enter user-name: system/manager_at_gdb1
ERROR:
ORA-01096: program version (8.1.5.0.1)
incompatible with instance (8.1.5.0.0)

The documentation says:

ORA-01096 program version (string) incompatible with instance (string)

Cause: The program was linked with a different version of the server than the instance to which it is attempting to connect.

Action: Relink the program against the same version of Oracle as the instance or restart (startup force) the database using the program's version of the SERVER.

I'm new at Oracle admin, so do I actually relink 'sqlplus'? If so, please tell me where relinking is documented.

Thanks for any help you can give.
