Any Thoughts on doing a guide for OSX Lion? With the new release of OSX I have been hearing that some changes made to the OS have cause oracle 10g to break. Are there any plans for a OSX 10.7 guide for oracle 10g

Edit the $ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin/java file in order to add the option -d32

This is necessary to force netca and dbca utilities to run in 32-bit mode

You initial problem was vi. I assumed you Googled it. You last problem is that the database instance doesn’t start automatically in OSX even if you update /etc/oratab. In my first comment I have a link to another post that includes auto-start configuration or just start it manually – see questions from RSG_Shyam above.

I am thru with my earlier error and everything went fine with the installation and Worked fine at the end of installation before rebooting.

After rebooting When trying to use sqlplus, I get the following:

sqlplus system@orcl

SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.4.0 – Production on Wed Sep 8 12:12:12 2010

Enter password:
ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
Mac OS X Error: 2: No such file or directory

Also I tried somebody’s suggestion about changin N to Y in /etc/oratab [which i missed to do earlier] but still the same issue.

Could anybody help me out.

Thanks ..

I got this error while vi /etc/sysctl.conf ..

E325: ATTENTION
Found a swap file by the name “/var/tmp/sysctl.conf.swp”
dated: Thu Jun 30 00:58:15 2011
[cannot be opened]
While opening file “/etc/sysctl.conf”

(1) Another program may be editing the same file.
If this is the case, be careful not to end up with two
different instances of the same file when making changes.
Quit, or continue with caution.

(2) An edit session for this file crashed.
If this is the case, use “:recover” or “vim -r /etc/sysctl.conf”
to recover the changes (see “:help recovery”).
If you did this already, delete the swap file “/var/tmp/sysctl.conf.swp”
to avoid this message.

Swap file “/var/tmp/sysctl.conf.swp” already exists!
[O]pen Read-Only, (E)dit anyway, (R)ecover, (D)elete it, (Q)uit, (A)bort:

I understand that I did not close/quit properly. So how can i delete this .swp file ?? Any help..

Hi
Please could you be more specific, I’m really new with mac and oracle what do you mean with:

“replace on NETCA -mx64m with -d32″
“replace on DBCA -mx64m with -d32″
