Should install ok. You'll definitely need some patches depending on the hardware. I don't have any 715s running Oracle, so I can't give you a probable list. You can download the patches for free from HP.

Note, you didn't actually set ORACLE_TERM, but that's probably not your problem...

My instructions (well, ok, I haven't looked recently) say to user pfsd to mount the cd. This gives mixed-case and long file names. Then you can just run orainst from the cd. The 'make links' things were for 7.2.X, for 7.3.x (where x is 3, I haven't installed 0,1 or 2) you use pfsd to mount the cd. Try man pfsd and man pfs_mount. You have to make an /etc/pfstab file. For me the install was a breeze, so long as the cd was mounted with pfsd.

Hope this helps.

Ciao,
Casper
