depends on the shell you are using. If you are using bash, for instance, put this line in your .bash_profile.

export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle (or where ever your oracle home actually is)

then at the command line type:

source .bash_profile

that will update your environment for that shell. to have it take affect across everything,just logout and then log back in.

Especially if you have any problems.

The ORACLE_HOME environment variable must be set.
It must be set to hold the path to an Oracle installation directory
on this machine (or a machine with a compatible architecture).
See the README.clients file for more information.
ABORTED!

I installed Oracle9i database on Mac OS X.
It works properly from the command line.

Does anyone have an idea how to set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable?

Thanks,

Bart
