Can't get listener to start with install. What is wrong with configuration?

I am trying to get the listener to start so I can use sqlplus. As I understand, the listener must be running for sqlplus to work and from there I can continue to the next step of creating my database. I have installed Oracle 8.0.5 on Linux 2.0.36 with glibc 2.0.7 (whatever the recommended glibc is anyway) I made it through the installer and I have gone through the below post install steps. I know this is a rather detailed post, but can you see if you can identify why the listener won't start (problem is shown right after post install results). Or perhaps can you tell me what I need to do differently.
