In a couple of other postings, you have stated:

i did:

setenv ORACLE_HOME=/some/path

if you are using the csh, thats the incorrect syntax. You just set a variable "ORACLE_HOME=/some/path" to nothing. You did not set the variable ORACLE_HOME.

Try this:

$ setenv ORACLE_HOME /some/path
$ echo $ORACLE_HOME

that will show you if it is set or not.

See http://www.oracle.com/ideveloper/ for my column 'Digging-in to Oracle8i'...
