thanks Peter for the hints via news:comp.databases.oracle.server and
http://www.deja.com.  Success!

It was a combination of all of these!
1. The .bash_profile had an incorrect LD_LIBRARY_PATH
2. the /etc/lb.so.conf was ok but we needed to run ldconfig,
I still don't understand the warnings it still gives
3. deleted 8.1.5 and all installed software
4. deleted oraInventory  and other files even oui in $ORACLE_HOME
so the installer knows that it has to build everything
5. reinstalled
6. ran patches
no errors in the /tmp/81501.log or /tml/81502.log any more

sqlplus and svrmgrl ok

7. copied initXXXX.ora into $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
database started ok

Now I gotta start with SQL*Net and building some databases ...

Later with Oracle Application Server and ... and ...

Thanks

Graham Tritt
