Unfortunately - this is what I'm having a problem with.  I did install with
OUI.  The log files from that installation are in the "oraInventory"
directory.  Subsequently, I installed some client software (precompilers) on
the machine.  The oraInventory only shows the client installation, not the
real server.  

And.......I have confirmed - the oraInst.loc file does correctly point to
the oraInventory directory.

It just looks as though the installer process didn't update the oraInventory
correctly.  Now I'm afraid I'm Screwed on the upgrade!

I'm guessing that the 9.0.1.0 server software was not installed using the
Oracle installer?  Did you "tar" it over from somewhere else?

For a server installed using the installer, you'll find a file in
"/var/opt/oracle" named "oraInst.loc", which contains the name of the
directory containing the Oracle Universal Installer's "oraInventory"
directory.

Your installer running the 9.0.1.2 patch is checking for that file in
"/var/opt/oracle" and probably not finding it.  Or, it is finding it and the
"oraInventory" directory, but the inventory says that only the client has
been installed...
