Check your environment variables and your directory permissions. One or more of these settings are wrong.

If you do an strace on sqlplus you should be able to better identify what's wrong.

Sample environment variables:

ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6
ORACLE_SID=devdb1l
ORACLE_DOC=/u01/app/oracle/doc

PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/u01/app/oracle/product/8. 1.6/bin

You may have to go through the installation instructions and verify that each directory and executable has the right permissions.
