Newbie Question: Trying to Start SQLPlus, Error

From: Patrick Altman <junk_at_pataltman.com>

This is what I get after logging on as the 'oracle' user and executing
./sqlplus from the shell:



Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus


Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found


SP2-0750: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software directory



Does all this message mean is that the ORACLE_HOME shell variable is not
getting set?  If this is the case, how would I set it and what could I do to
automatially set it every time I log in?



Sorry for the elementary question.



Patrick
