on macosx snow leopard : how to log in as "Oracle software owner"
lolveleyOct 20 2009 — edited May 22 2011hi,
I want to install oracle 10g on MacOSX snow leopard and I have an issue, and even two :
1/ I read this tutorial [http://www.pythian.com/news/1937/quick-install-guide-for-oracle-10g-release-2-on-mac-os-x-leopard-intel], and I have an error when I launch the runInstaller :
**************************************************************************

2/ In the tutorial it is reqsuested :

Update 14-Sep-09: Above works only for OS X 10.5 Leopard. OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard has stricter security settings so you cannot simply su to oracle user and export DISPLAY — you actually have to login as oracle user (logout in GUI and login as oracle “Oracle software owner”) instead of “su – oracle”. Thanks to Raimond for this.
