Start one of 'netec', 'netca' or the tool 'netasst (or similar name)' and create a network configuration (i.e. a tnsnames.ora and a listener.ora config file) for Oracle first, then start the listener, and then try again!

(It is, by the way a fairly virgin SuSE 6.3 installation, and the SuSE Oracle patches have been applied. I am following the instructions as close to the letter as I can figure out! :-))

Well, these isntructions only help you with installation.
