Re: Newbie Question: Trying to Start SQLPlus, Error

I have a slightly different problem getting sqlplus running.

I just did an install of 8i on a new Solaris machine.

The install procedure burped a few times creating the demo database...I suspect because sqlplus won't run.

Every time I try to run sqlplus I get:

$ sqlplus /nolog
Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found
Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus

Any idea what I'm missing ?

Thanks,
