Cannot AutoStart Oracle Listener (lsnrctl)

Dear sir/madam,

I have just installed Oracle 8i on Slackware 7.1, and have a problem with the Oracle listener. I should appreciate for any help. The problem is this:

The Oracle software installs successfully, and I can start the listner (using $ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start) by logging in as the oracle user account. Then I want the listener to autostart on boot, so I run a script which contains the following lines:

 /usr/oracle/.bash_profile
su - oracle -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start".

The second line fails with the following errors:

TNS-01103: Protocol specific component of the address is incorrectly specified
TNS-12541: TNS: no listener
TNS-12560: TNS: protocol adaptor error
TNS-00211: ...

Please note that the script is run by the root user, and oracle is the user name who installs Oracle, and the .bash_profile file has established all Oracle environment variables ($ORACLE_HOME, $ORACLE_SID, etc.)

Thank you for your kind help.
