Are there any more environment variables set (e.g. ORA_HOME). Is there an oracle home entry in your registry?

You don't need to compile it and it workes out of the box. Still it might get confused about different oracle home settings, cause it will try to find the tnsnames.ora etc in the wrong directory. I suggest you choose 1 directory as oracle home and remove any reference to the other. Maarten.
