I'm trying to install Oracle 10g on to OS X Lion. I have previous achieved this on Snow Leopard with the following tutorial.

The issue I'm having is that the ulimit settings in the oracle/.bash_profile cannot be modified.

I have the following in the bash_profile:

Oracle Client For Mac

Upon applying the bash_profile settings . ~/.bash_profile I get the following error:

This then results in $ sqlplus / as sysdba not functioning correctly with a Segmentation fault: 11

The output of $ ulimit -a

If any one knows how I can apply these ulimit settings to the oracle user I have created to allow me to install sqlplus and therefore create a db, that would be great.

How about trying to compile and install oracle and sqlplus on leopard and after moving the pieces to lion? e.g. sqlplus, tnsnames, oracle and so on in bin folder?

I found a similar solution here for snow leopard (the problem of segmentation was that binaries were compiled in 32bit mode under leopard then ported to 64bit snow leopard or something similar..)

The ulimit problem is because the kern.maxprocperuid Kernel parameter changed its default value to 709 in Lion (at least that was the default on my MacBook Air). As pointed out in the comment in the profile script, the values for:

must match the kern.maxprocperuid Kernel parameter value. You can check this value with:

In my case the default was 709, so that's what I put in my .bash_profile script:

As for the segmentation fault when running sqlplus, I haven't found a solution for that. I can't get netca to run properly either. These would seem to be more serious issues!

I had posted a blog that might help.

It should work on Snow Leopard and hopefully also LION.
