Im trying to install oracle 10g on to OS X Lion, I have previous achieved this on snow leopard with the following http://blog.rayapps.com/2009/09/14/how-to-install-oracle-database-10g-on-mac-os-x-snow-leopard/
The issue im having is that the ulimit settings in the oracle/.bash_profile cannot be modified.
I have the following in the bash_profile:
export DISPLAY=:0.0
export ORACLE_BASE=$HOME
umask 022
# must match `sysctl kern.maxprocperuid`
ulimit -Hu 512
ulimit -Su 512
# must match `sysctl kern.maxfilesperproc`
ulimit -Hn 10240
ulimit -Sn 10240
Upon applying the bash_profile settings . ~/.bash_profile i get the following error:
-bash: ulimit: max user processes: cannot be modify limit: Invalid argument
This then results in $ sqlplus / as sysdba not functioning correctly with a Segmentation fault: 11
The output of $ ulimit -a
core file size (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited
max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files (-n) 10240
pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 1
stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192
cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes (-u) 512
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited
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.
