I'm still puzzled as to why you are not getting any feedback from sqlplus. what happens if you type "which sqlplus"

oraenv is fine. It is used to set up the environment to use a particular database but until you have a database it can't look up the appropriate settings (ORACLE_HOME) so it prompts you for them.
