DEAR GOD ALMIGHTY! IT WOOOOORRRRKKKKEEED!!!!!! I unset both the NLS_LANG and the ORA_NLS33, and I got this wonderful output:

SVRMGR> spool /usr/local/oracle/product/8.1.5/install/crdb1.log SVRMGR> connect internal

You win. What beer do you want? Email me your address and I will ship it to you. Just remove the NOSPAM from the address.

Thank you. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Not to sound melodramatic, but I have been struggling with this for a month.

That will teach me to RTFM (I set those variables according to the installation instructions I got with my CD). That makes me pretty mad, in retrospect--normal I chuck the instructions and muddle through! :-)

Thank you again. You made my week. Really.

Matt
