Use this settings in your .tcshrc or equivalent:

setenv ORACLE_HOME /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7 (or wherever you prefer)
setenv ORACLE_BASE /u01/app/oracle
setenv NLS_LANG spanish_spain.we8dec (your local language definition here)
setenv ORA_NLS33 $ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data setenv ORACLE_TERM xterm
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $ORACLE_HOME/lib
setenv CLASSPATH "/usr/local/jre/lib/rt.jar:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib" setenv PATH "$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH"

# To work with 2.4 kernels, put this

setenv LD_ASSUME_KERNEL 2.2.5
setenv LDEMULATION elf_i386_glibc21
setenv GCC_EXEC_PREFIX /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib/gcc-lib/

#Java Runtime Settings

setenv JAVA_HOME $ORACLE_HOME/JRE (if this doesn´t work, try whit the jre_118 location, usually /usr/local/jre) setenv PATH "$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH"

an also, before you run the installer, unset LANG. Don´t ask why, but it works.

unset LANG

Hope this helps, good luck
