I suspect you are setting some things in your PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH that are causing problems. Check out the doco on the base install and patchset ... lots of times people have more set for doing oracle maintenance than they should. The installer these days is pretty good on hpux about knowing where things are and setting up other stuff that it needs.

Like you we are hpux 11.11 and I have been patched up to 9.2.06 rac for a long time now. I don't recall any big problems with the 9.2.0.6 patchset except having to do some funky things (comment out the clusterware parameter) dealing with the 9.2.0.6 installer is really 10g based.

Here's what my ld and cc are point to apparently.
