Two thoughts:

1.)	Is Oracle running?  The command:
        
        ps -ef |grep ora

        should show several Oracle processes running, including pmon.., 

smon.., dbwr.., and lgwr..

2.) We had a similar problem, using v7.3.2.2 on an HP server. In our case, we could connect to the database directly, but if we tried to connect using SQL*NET or the svrmgrl command syntax: CONNECT user/password_at_database
we would get the Oracle not available error.

Only way I found to correct the second problem was to re-istall, using a name other than 'test' for the sample database. After that, everything was fine.

Hope this helps.
