Try searching for your error on metalink. They have several references to patches and listener.ora things to try, but I think you probably just messed up copying things around. You might even try reinstalling and patching the problem oracle home. Personally, I'm against copying things around, because it implies an impossible level of version control.

Also, if you can't relink, you might have an ownership issue, perhaps even as silly as not being able to copy a file because you tried to copy while the listener was running. (I confess, I've made such mistakes, easy to do).
