Thanks very much – without your entry and Pythian I would have given up – it’s a shame Oracle haven’t documented these steps themselves, or at least hosted the Leopard binary.

It will be interesting to see what happens as XCode 4 and clang roll out!

I just noticed that even though I rebooted after including kern.sysv.sshmni=4096, the value for shmmni remains 32 ( sysctl kern.sysv.shmmni).Can you please tell me how I can change kern.sysv.sshmni to 4096.

Thanks in advance.

Is there any reason why I am receiving an error when I try to download the oracle_se.zip file from terminal?

Instruction: curl -O http://rayapps.com/downloads/oracle_se.zip
Thanks;

The problem seems to be that I have installed oracle on HD1 of an XServe and not Server HD. HD1 is not mounted when the StartupItem script runs, despite the plist file asking for ‘Disks’ and the order been changed to ‘Late’ or ‘Last’. Has anyone else installed oracle on second HDD and managed to get the startup script to work?

The instructions say to add values to the /etc/sysctl.conf file. This file does not exist on Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.3). Does this mean we are to add this file with the entries given?

Just a quick thank you for posting this. Worked like a charm for me on Mac OS X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard (client).

This is awesome! Thanks so much for posting it! Fortunately, I was able to follow this script precisely and had no issues with the installation or execution.
