Help ! Oracle 8.1.6 Install on Redhat 6.2

Question

I have read thru most of the previous posts and it sounds as if a few people have been successful with the 8.1.6 install on RH6.2.
I am trying to install 8.1.6 EE on a unmodified RH6.2 machine. I keep getting link errors during the install.
I believe my .bash_profile has been setup correctly and I followed the install doc but no success as of yet.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks

Here is a sample of my .bash_profile. I set my system up in a slightly different way than most people but you can easily modify it for you system.
I put variables specific to certain applications is separate files that I include into my .bash_profile if you look at the second line you will see that I call a Oracle.config file this is where those variables are set.
# .bash_profile
. /profileinc/Java.conf
. /profileinc/Oracle.conf
. /profileinc/Path.conf
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
ENV=$HOME/.bashrc
USERNAME="oracle"
export USERNAME ENV
mesg n
And here is the Oracle.config file that I call. You can put these at the top of your .bash_profile and it will work, just remember to export the variables in your .bash_profile.
# Oracle Config
oracle_home=/usr/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=/usr/oracle
ORACLE_SID=Config
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH};
TMP=$oracle_home/tmp
TMP_DIR=$oracle_home/tmp
TMPDIR=$oracle_home/tmp
export oracle_home ORACLE_HOME TMP TMP_DIR TMPDIR LD_LIBRARY_PATH
null
