[rt-users] RT: Log::Dispatch socket issue

[Brookes, Iris]

Hi:
 
I'm installing RT3.4.1 on a Solaris machine ==> unname -a output:    SunOS tocrsv02 5.8 Generic_117350-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R
and I'm getting this error when I try to run "make initialize-database":
 
//home/rtusr/RT/sbin/rt-setup-database --action init --dba RT_USER --prompt-for-dba-password
In order to create or update your RT database,this script needs to connect to your Oracle instance on localhost as RT_USER.
Please specify that user's database password below. If the user has no database
password, just press return.

Note: I'm not root and I'm installing everything under the user account "rtusr" including apache1.3.33 and mod_perl1.29. The socket value is set to 'unix'. If I change it to 'inet' it still gives me the same error. 
 
Can anyone help me please?
