Given the fact that you are running Linux RedHat 6.0, I think that you are probably using the new tcl package comes with RH6.0. The new tcl package does not work with the dbsnmp agent in Oracle 8.0.5. You have to downgrade to the one included in RH5.1, which is called "tcl-8.0.2-16" (the last two-digit "16" is not important). Oracle 805's dbsnmp specifically requires this tcl package. Get it from any RH mirror, and use --force in rpm to install (downgrade).
