You might have issues with the 'environment' you're setup with...
What 'shell' are you using (especially when you performed the installation)
??
Isn't "/export" an 'NFS mounted' area ? (will this cause issues with the
installation ?)
Can you 'resolve' (lookup) your system name yourself ? (i.e. "nslookup
organa") If not, you might want to fix this in case it's causing
additional problems (or the result of).
What system and 'O/S' are you actually using (type "uname -a" and send me
the result). did you download the correct 'binary' package ?
