AFAIK the root.sh sets up env vars for installation. You definitely = don't use that to get correct (SID-dependent) environment variables. The = most-used method is hard-coding it in .profile, the official method is = making sure oraenv and dbhome are in /usr/local/bin, that directory is = in the initial path and run . oraenv before you start an Oracle tool. Your sqlplus command starts in a new shell which doesn't inherit = ORACLE_HOME, because you most likely didn't export it.
