   Thanks to all the people who replied . I will provide a brief summary
   of the responses. However, I haven't got it working as yet.
   
   The general consensus was that LD_LIBRARY_PATH may have been
   set incorectly. I have tried all variations submitted and nothing worked
   To list the variations
   
   LD_LIBRARY_PATH - /usr/openwin/lib.
   
   LD_LIBRARY_PATH - /cdrom/oracle/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib

   LD_LIBRARY_PATH - /cdrom/oracle/lib

   The other suggestion was that one the OS patches installed may be
   causing the problem. I didn't get a chance to look into it yet
   but as soon as I test it, I will send out the info for those interested.
   
   Some also suggested getting 7.3.3 CD from Oracle which may have the
   problem solved

   Also of interest for debugging
   truss -f -o /tmp/log ./orainst /c

   Replies came from:
