ORA-12547 while creating ASM instance using DBCA in 10gR2

ORA-12547 - TNS Lost Contact while creating ASM instance using DBCA.

Cause: Seems like Oracle Binaries were not relinked properly.

[oracle@testsrv01 ~]$ ldd `which oracle`
lddlibc4: cannot read header from `/oracle01/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/oracle'
[oracle@testsrv01 ~]$

Fix: shutdown the listener and kill any stale processes referring to the executable of your ORACLE_HOME and

cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
relink all

and restart the DBCA. It should go through
