Oracle on Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Question

I am trying to install oracle on snow leopard using these guidelines. http://blog.rayapps.com/2009/09/14/how-to-install-oracle-database-10g-on-mac-os-x-snow-leopard/ There is a step in the installation, where I have to change netca and dbca such that it runs in 32 bit mode. Can someone please tell me how to do it. I have pasted the exact step below

–Now you need to modify $ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin/java script and change “…java -Xbootclasspath…” to “…java -d32 -Xbootclasspath…”--

Answer 1

Break it down:

Now you need to modify $ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin/java script

OK, so there is a file in the directory that Oracle is installed in, which is {path to Oracle installation} /jdk/bin/java. Open it up in your favorite text editor.

...and change “…java -Xbootclasspath…”

Search for the text java -Xbootclasspath ...

...to “…java -d32 -Xbootclasspath…”

Now, you want to insert -d32 in between java and -Xbootclasspath . The -d32 switch tells Java to run in 32-bit mode.

Presto!
