Oracle 10g DB on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Posted: Apr 17, 2005 3:26 PM

For those who have access to the release candidates of OS X 10.4, have you been able to successfully install 10g DB and create a database.

In my case, while running the DBCA, I run into a "ORA-12547: TNS: lost contact" error while the database files are being copied. The log file entry for the error goes like this:

java[8596] CFLog (0): CFMessagePort: bootstrap_register(): failed 1103 (0x44f), port = 0x16903, name = 'java.ServiceProvider'
See /usr/include/servers/bootstrap_defs.h for the error codes
java[8596] CFLog (99): CFMessagePortCreateLocal(): failed to name Mach port (java.ServiceProvider)

...does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks!

I don't know how to fix the problem but it seems critical. The install failed and when I tried to fix it, I got:

I did not test in the more recent tiger installations but in an early preview I could get the database up and running without any problems. The installation was done in 10.3 and I rebooted to tiger to test.
For production purposes it does not make sense to run on an other release than 10.3.6 since it's the only supported macosx release. Let's hope oracle is quick with 10gr2 and includes tiger support in it. (don't hold your breath).

Just curious- are you getting these errors from an existing Oracle installation after upgrading to Tiger? Or did you upgrade to Tiger and then install a new copy of Oracle? Did you try relinking the Oracle kernel after the Tiger upgrade?

I'll be buying Tiger later today, but may not install it right away...

I used Oracle 9i and 10g for developing for months. I had check the database and our application before upgrading to Mac OS X. All works well ...

After upgrading i cannot start oracle any more.

But i seems a general problem in "Tiger". All symbols included by static libs (libnls9.a, libcore9.a and in our app libtcl7.6.a) will not be found by Apples "dyld" ...

Just to make sure- did you try relinking the kernel after upgrading to Tiger?

No, i have no relink oracle. But i have relink some of my onw libs using mostly dylib and some static libs. All symbols use on dylib (util.dylib) from static lib (libtcl.a, libtclx.a) are broken. After building dylib for tcl/tclx and relink all works well. TCL, X11, ... but no Oracle (starting nor connecting)

Next i try to install Oracle 10g ... Comming back, soon!

You might as well try relink all, instead of re-install.

I could just try it, but can't do it until later, so I'll ask here. The relink script that comes with the Oracle9i Developer release for Mac OSX appears to be broken (even after you fix the locations of find, dirname, awk, and touch). Has anyone either managed to fix this script, or use the script that comes with 10G to relink Oracle9i? My guess is that the latter is a real long shot.

I have now clean install Oracle 10.1.0.3.0

1) Error on starting "agent emsubagent nmo mnb"

2) File %fileName% not found

3) On DB Creating Assistent: "ORA-12547: TNS: lost contact"

I convinced, that all symbols using in dylib's and provided by static libs (*.a) cannot be found!

That's a pity. When I tested 10g on an early pre release of tiger it just worked. Maybe it still does with xcode 1.5 installed instead of 2.0 ?

What happens when you select gcc 3.3 as default and relink oracle ?
(sudo gcc_select 3.3)

1. Taking "dyld" from 10.3.9 isn't a good idea ... have to boot from CD and move back the original.

2. Trying XCode 1.2
aragorn:~ oracle$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/3.3/specs
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1640)

Oracle not linkable using XCode 1.2 ... have canceled installation after a douzend Alerts.

3. XCode is only installable on Mac OS X 10.3.x (it said!)

4. Trying XCode 2 (with gcc_select 3.3)
aragorn:~ oracle$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/3.3/specs
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1809)

dyld: Symbol not found: _SSL_ALG_CLIENT_AUTH_MODE_RSA_SIGN_CLIENTSIDE_BS
Referenced from: /g_opt/oracle/product/10.1.0/lib/libnnz10.dylib
Expected in: flat namespace
ERROR:
ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact

5. No more ideas ... have inform Apple over "Feedback" and "DevBugs"! Mac OS X 10.4 ("Tiger") isn't useable for Oracle-Developer. Notice: Same Problem on my own application:
gcc -no-common -o util1.o util1.c
ar -c libutil1.a util1.o
gcc -no-common -o util2.o util2.c
gcc -dynamiclib -flat_namespace -undefined suppress libutil2.dylib util2.o
gcc -o test -lutil2 -lutil1
Symbols from libutil1 not found, when using from libutil2 ... ;-(

Additional information:

Using gcc-4.0 (Xcode2):
1) Error on starting "agent emsubagent nmo mnb"
2) File %fileName% not found
3) libclntsh.dylib.10.1 was not created, only libclntsh.dylib exists

Using gcc-3.3 (Xcode2):
No of these errors appears!

Both: No runable Oracle results! Symbol not found ...
