I have set the $ORACLE_HOME path aswell

But you didn't set it within PATH environment variable, for example

$ export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH

Dude!

The following should work:

[root@ol1 ~]# su - oracle
[oracle@ol1 ~]$ . oraenv
ORACLE_SID = [oracle] ? yoursid
The Oracle base has been set to /u01/app/oracle
[oracle@ol1 ~]$ which sqlplus
/u01/app/oracle/product/112/db/bin/sqlplus

Hi there

try dude suggestion, but you got the wrong oracle home

checking the output you should do

export ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1

export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH

you should set the ORACLE_SID as the db instance, but with the PATH and the proper ORACLE_HOME you will get sqlplus
