Ok, I made a little more progress...

I executed the .profile after uncommenting DTSOURCEPROFILE=true in
.dtprofile.
and changed the umask to 022

now, when I do 
$  echo $ORACLE_BASE
    /usr/oracle
$  echo $ORACLE_HOME
    /usr/oracle/product/7.2.3
(I created that directory structure manually
/usr/oracle/product/7.2.3)
$  umask
    022

But I still get the error.   

PS: BTW, my CD is a oracle licensed copy.  I got it from the MIS dept
who are on updated version.  He said "I'm not sure, just play around
with the environment"  [helpful eh] ;p   


Anyway, still hoping, somebody did encounter the problem, and solved
it.  Please let me know asap.  Thanks.
