Listener start error

Hi,
     Im getting the following error while starting listener on Oracle 8i  (8.1.7.0.0)

LSNRCTL> start
Starting /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/bin/tnslsnr: please wait...

TNS-12547: TNS:lost contact
 TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
  TNS-00517: Lost contact
   Solaris Error: 32: Broken pipe
LSNRCTL>

This is a dev. database and it was down like for months. I took over this db. and brought it is online now but has no listener listening. I dont know as what was done previously with this database( i mean, whether there were any patches applied) or any other work, which might have corrupted the Network conf. files. When i first tried to start the listener i got this error  "ld.so.1: lsnrctl: fatal: relocation error: file lsnrctl: symbol nlepeget: referenced symbol not found". I thought it might be  because they have run some patch installation previously and ran the command to make the tnslsnr file again : "make -f ins_net_server.mk install". After running this when i tried to start the listener, im getting the error that i have pasted in the beginning. Following are the environment variables that have been set

ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
ORACLE_PATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/bin
TNS_ADMIN=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/network/admin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib
ORACLE_SID=DEV1

The evironment variables are set correctly, solaris file size has been set to unlimited (so, no problem with the listener.log file size). I have searched many documents but did not find any solution. Im requesting you to please provide your suggestion on this. can a relinking of executables work?

Thank you,
Harris.

Thanks but I have already seen that tip, that is why i have already quoted that there is no contention with the file size i.e., 2GB limit and other environment variables. Even the port that has been listed in listener.ora 1521 is not being used by any other applications except the listener. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

listener.ora has default name LISTENER. I tried to configure a new listener with netca, but when i issued netca at the command prompt, no GUI (of netca) is coming up(im using putty, any display properties need to set?). So, i edited the listener.ora manually and added a new listener by name DEV1LISTENER and commented out the LISTENER. But even then im not able to start the listener. Below is my listener.ora file and the corresponding errors when i tired to start and (or) reload the listener ( *commented out  the hostname)

$ cat listener.ora
# LISTENER.ORA Configuration File:/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/network/admin/listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

#LISTENER =
#  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
#    (DESCRIPTION =
#      (ADDRESS_LIST =
#        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host1.test)(PORT = 1521))
#      )
#    )
#  )
DEV1LISTENER =
        (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
           (DESCRIPTION =
              (ADDRESS_LIST =
                  (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = host1.test) (PORT = 1521))
               )
            )
        )

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (SID_NAME = dev1)
      (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7)
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME = dev1.test1.test2)
    )
  )

The following are the errors that i got after issuing start dev1listener and (or) reload dev1listener from lsnrctl prompt

LSNRCTL> start dev1listener
Starting /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/bin/tnslsnr: please wait...

TNS-12547: TNS:lost contact
 TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
  TNS-00517: Lost contact
   Solaris Error: 32: Broken pipe

LSNRCTL> reload dev1listener
Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=host1.test)(PORT=1521)))
TNS-12541: TNS:no listener
 TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
  TNS-00511: No listener
   Solaris Error: 146: Connection refused

When i issued just reload (with out dev1listener parameter), i got following error

LSNRCTL> reload
Connecting to (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=ipc)(KEY=PNPKEY))
TNS-12541: TNS:no listener
 TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
  TNS-00511: No listener
   Solaris Error: 2: No such file or directory
Connecting to (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(PORT=1521))
TNS-12541: TNS:no listener
 TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
  TNS-00511: No listener
   Solaris Error: 146: Connection refused

I had to relink the lsnrctl executable (and changed the HOST to IP address). Thanks anyway.
