So I’ve followed the pre-install steps and managed to make it to the OUI…however, I’m hitting the following road-block. After successfully starting the OUI, Immediately proceeding the step of setting up the SYS, SYSTEM, SYSMAN and DBSNMP I get the following error dialog: “OUI-10150:Error Invalid OSOPER name in component Oracle Database 10g 10.2.0.4.0 . Installation cannot continue for this component.”

Can anyone please advise??
Thanks for the support!!

Hi Mr.Ray,

thanks for your great tutorial. I’ve already followed it and successfully install Oracle on my MacOSX Snow Leopard. And, btw, I quote this tutorial at my blog, and add some personal touch from myself. But, the big part of the tutorial is yours to take the credit. Thanks alot.

Install ran fine, but…

when i attempt to launch netca, or dbca for that matter, I get the following error:

Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: assistansCommon
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: assistansCommon

I’ve followed the details on regressing java. Any ideas on what stupid user error i am committing?

Awesome guide. Installed on a new imac with snow leopard. I can use sqlplus to connect to my database. Everything worked as the guide indicated.

Of note, I had an issue with starting this up due to my oraInst.loc pointing to my normal user (rather than the oracle installer user).

This file sits in /private/var/opt/oracle/ on my mac. You may need to change this from your user to the oracle user you created to install this.

Sorry Ilango,

I haven’t had the time this week to reasearch it, but I’ll reasearch it a bit more, to try unlocking this problem. If I find a good solution I’ll post it here.

Thanks,

I have a question about the following:

sudo /Library/StartupItems/Oracle/Oracle start — This works fine but after reboot your the Oracle database will not start automatically? What is strange is that it was working but then it stopped. All scripts are in place as per instructions. Can anyone give me any pointers?

Hi Raimonds,

Thank you for the post. I got it running on OS X 10.6.2 Build 10C540 without much trouble.

But when I try to start the Oracle startup script I get:

“oracle is not in the sudoers file”

Any idea why I’m getting it when nobody else has??

Thanks,

Angelo
