I don't have your environment to test, but some platforms have issues with the case (as noted in the Installing link you posted). Compare oratab with SERVICE_NAME. Also, tnsnames files are notorious for being sensitive to stray invisible characters, at least in earlier versions, which I would expect would get a different error. But the most likely issue is what hjr said.
