RE: Error starting sqlplus

John,

 

When you type "env" on the $ prompt, do you see the Oracle
environmental's defined?

Secondly, try "cd'ing" to the $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory and running
Sqlplus right from there and see what you get.

 

This either an environmental problem, or you do not have permission to
read the Oracle directories.

Subject: Error starting sqlplus

 

Have just installed Oracle 10.2 on AIX 5. When I run sqlplus as oracle
it runs OK. When I run it as another user I get the message below

I thought the environment variables were not set, but .profiles are
identical in terms of Oracle values 

Any ideas?

Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus

Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found

SP2-0750: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software
directory
