I will check out the processes and eliminate what I can. I am fairly sure my ORACLE_SID var is correct, but I will check that also. I have tried the install with RH 7.3 and 7.1 and both failed for similar reasons. I did get a little further with 7.1, I believe. I suspect that the trouble lies with the JRE and/or the JDK. I don't think it installed itself correctly. Right out of the gate I had to intervene to get the install to continue past that part of the procedure. I had much better results with Oracle 8i and RH 6.2.
