Guess this is how people learn Oracle ;-(

Install, then fail.

You will need to run a tool (netca) to reconfigure some stuff.

If this is a first, do yourself a favour and try and name things like they have been named in the help files.

Or, as TurkBear said, see if there are obvious unbalanced parantheses in the file.
