What you need to do is:

'rm -rf' the ORACLE_HOME that you have installed.
'setenv SGI_ABI -32' in your environment BEFORE invoking 'orainst' utility.
do your install.

The problem is that there are some .o and .a files created/modified as part of the install process. Once this happens with the wrong ABI setting, your easiest option is to start over from scratch.

You should always have 'setenv SGI_ABI -32' for your Oracle users that will be installing or re-linking the Oracle stuff.

Yes. It is possible and it does work.
