Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Hmm
I've been using softlinks to Oracle home for years.

$ echo $ORACLE_HOME
/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7
New yabut does your user $ORACLE_HOME
point at the same one that you use in the startupDB (startup script where you kick oracle awake and mount the database) mine was different startup script pointing to the link and user pointing at the real file.
made them both the same and it worked.
thanx,
bill

New Yup
Startup sets this, as well as it being sourced in to login scripts.
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=${ORACLE_BASE}/product/8.1.7

So it was really a matter of them being different, not that it was over a symbolic link for you.
New but if oracle user uses
oracle_base=/export/home/oracle
and user uses
oracle_base-/foo/oracle and /foo/oracle is where /export/home/oracle really lives it should work.
thanx,
bill

New Maybe
Maybe not.
Maybe it's checking for a different Oracle home and considering it an error.
