Install Oracle Instant Client on Mac OS X Lion
- Download the installation files from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/intel-macsoft-096467.html
- Unfortunately at this moment, the 64-bit version does not work. When starting the SQL Plus, the "Segmentation fault: 11" will be displayed.
- Download the 32-bit version instead. You will need the Instant Client Package: Basic and SQL Plus.
- instantclient-basic-10.2.0.4.0-macosx-x86.zip
- instantclient-sqlplus-10.2.0.4.0-macosx-x86.zip
- Unzip both files into a folder.
- Set the environment variables in the ~.bash_profile as follows:
# SQL Plus Instant Client export INSTANT_CLIENT_PATH=/Users/ichamma1/Documents/Oracle_instantclient export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$INSTANT_CLIENT_PATH export TNS_ADMIN=$INSTANT_CLIENT_PATH export PATH=$PATH:$INSTANT_CLIENT_PATH
- The TNS_ADMIN is where the tnsnames.ora file will be placed. Note that it can be the same as the Instant Client files
- Validate by:
sqlplus username@SID sqlplus username@host:port/SID
