Yeah, Oracle, for some inexplicable reason, sets the permissions on
the ORACLE_HOME directory and files to exclude other access (0750 for
directories and 0640 for files). The fix is to switch to the Oracle
user and reset permissions:
sudo su - oracle
find $ORACLE_HOME -type d|xargs chmod o+rx
find $ORACLE_HOME -type f|xargs chmod o+r
