Thanks to all the people who replied . I will provide a brief summary
of the responses. However, I haven't got it working as yet.

The general consensus was that LD_LIBRARY_PATH may have been
set incorectly. I have tried all variations submitted and nothing worked
To list the variations

LD_LIBRARY_PATH - /usr/openwin/lib.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH - /cdrom/oracle/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib

LD_LIBRARY_PATH - /cdrom/oracle/lib

The other suggestion was that one the OS patches installed may be
causing the problem. I didn't get a chance to look into it yet
but as soon as I test it, I will send out the info for those interested.

Some also suggested getting 7.3.3 CD from Oracle which may have the
problem solved

Also of interest for debugging
truss -f -o /tmp/log ./orainst /c
