This is always an indication that you are not using an Oracle environment. Often happens when doing an 'su -', instead of an 'su'. No matter how much you want to swear otherwise, the most likely suspects are:

1. You have switched users and the new user is not using the environment variables;
2. You have unset the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID variables.

Provide us with the following to help determine the problem more closely:

echo $USER
set | grep ORA
