RA-12545

I usually see that when some environment variable or another isn't set.
FWIW, here's the ones I set - I'm not sure how many of these are necessary.

ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/7.3.2
ORACLE_TERM=xterm
ORA_NLS=/opt/oracle/product/7.3.2/ocommon/nls/admin/data
ORACLE_SID=ink
ORACLE_DOC=/import/oracle/doc
