Jorge,

ORA-12547 means the server process did not spawn. Most likely the
"oracle" binary is not there or zero bytes.  Another possibility is you
are missing a shared library it needs.

Do the following and report the output:

% cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
% make -f ins_rdbms.mk ioracle

Thanks

-Bennett
