Here's the error:
[oracle@abyssinian bin]$ svrmgrl

ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact
The listener won't start either, so it's possible that if I fix that, this error will magically go away.
I didn't install http or advanced replication either, or a couple of other things we never use (I forget the exact names now). But I always skip those so it should be ok.
The listener error is more generic:
[oracle@abyssinian bin]$ lsnrctl start

Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
So I just need to figure out what the msising file or directory is. No problem! :) It could be the same library but I don't think so; that linux error usually happens when trying to directly open a file, not from loading a library.
