Hi, While installing Oracle I came across a strange problem. I had set all the enviornment variables in.profile of user oracle. Before going into X if I type env | grep oracle, I got the correct values as specified by me in the .profile. However when I started X (KDE) and when in konsole(kde console) I type env to my surprise I the oracle environment variables were pointing to the users (ie. oracle ) home directory. I had to start fvwm2 and in that xterm gave me proper environment variables. eg. : if my enviornment variable ORACLE_HOME=/u01/apps/oracle/product/8.1.5 in .profile used to change to ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/8.1.5. Why this change in environment variables in kde console ? Strange isn't it ?
