Trying to find an ORACLE_HOME
Your LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var is set to ':/opt/IBM/tivoli/netcool/platf

      The ORACLE_HOME environment variable is not set and I couldn't g

      It must be set to hold the path to an Oracle installation direct

      on this machine (or a machine with a compatible architecture).
      See the appropriate README file for your OS for more information
