Instant client on intel but late 2008 macbook pro Mac OS X 10.5.5 (9F2114)

Question

I can't get instantclient to run on the new macbook pro (though it worked fine on my old mac book pro)
# echo $ORACLE_HOME
/usr/local/oracle/instantclient
# echo $PATH
/sw/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/X11/bin:/Developer/Tools:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/libexec:/usr/X11/bin::/usr/local/bin:.:/usr/local/oracle/instantclient:/usr/local/maven/bin
# echo $SQLPATH

I'd really appreciate any help. Does anyone else have this working on the late 2008 macbook pro?
Suggestions?
Thanks!

Answer 1

Same issue here. Putting darwin ports out of the way did not help.
Running (sqlplus) under gdb gives:

No other info. shown in core dump.
Looks like a problem with dynamic library initialization? Sqlplus works with desktop (intel). Running 10.5.5 on both machines.
Culprit machine specs:
2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
One difference between desktop machine that works is that it only has 2 Gigs of mem..
My oci app gives the same error when using oracle client apis (running on culprit laptop).
