Trying to start sqlplus but get following error message :

# sqlplus
Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found
Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus

environment variables set. path set.

What is missing?

The .msb files were in $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/mesg

The permissions on the /mesg directory were :
drw-r--r-- oracle oinstall

but for some strange reason I have yet to figure out the oracle user cannot access this directory.

changed the permissions to
drwxrwxrwx oracle oinstall

and now oracle can access the directory, see the .msb files and run sqlplus
