If on Unix, put it in your profile.
If on Windows, put it in your registry or environment.

Show exactly what you do in a shell or cmd-box.
(copy paste)

I do not see any problems thus far.

You have to set some environment settings before starting to work. (think oraenv)
Think of it.
The system you work with somehow has to understand which sqlplus is where.

And also, sqlplus needs to know which instance to connect to.

Then, like Michel said, put the following in your .profile file:

export ORACLE_HOME=<path_to_Oracle_Home>
export ORACLE_SID=<database_sid>
export PATH=${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:${PATH}

But are you using the Bash shell? What does the following return?

$ echo ${SHELL}

So you say, but the fact you are having a problem suggests otherwise.

First, do as gazzag suggests and confirm you are using the bash shell.

If you are using bash, then confirm that things are NOT being set properly (which is your assertion) by doing the following:

Log on to the server.
Execute the following commands:

id
whoami
cat .bash_profile
env | grep ORA
echo $PATH

COPY the entire session and PASTE the results back here.
