Errors when trying to Install 10g Client on OS X

Question

I was just trying to install 10g on Mac OS X, 10.3.7 and got the following two error messages:
1) "File not found: %fileName%" when trying to install without the "Networking Utilities".
(When looking at the log file it seems as if during the linking process a file or link /Users/oracle/OraHome1/lib/libclntsh.dylib.10.1 would missing)
2) Additionally i received "Thrown when the ip address of a host cannot be determined" when trying to also install the "Networking utilities".
Has someone encountered the same problem and came up with a solution ?
Thanks,
Dieter

Answer 1

You need a static IP, not a reserved DHCP, a static.
My Ten Step Program to Static IP is:
1) Double click the Network Icon (two PCs) in the system tray
2) Click Properties
3) Highlight "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and then click Properties
4) Check the "Use the following IP address" radio button
5) Set IP Address to xxx.xxx.xx.xx ( I use the 4 digit PC number split in two. Make sure a ping of that address times out before you assign to ensure no one else has it)
6) Subnet mask should default to 255.255.0.0
7) Set Default Gateway xxx.xxx.xx.x
8) Set Preferred DNS server to xxx.xxx.xx.x
9) Set Alternate DNS server to xxx.xxx.xx.x
10) Grab large bottle of alcohol and enjoy the added functionality of a static IP address.
