Oracle sqlplus and instant client on Mac OS/X without DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

I recently needed to get sqlplus (11.2) running on a mac (10.8.2).
Oracle supports this via their instant client. For basic sqlpus, you
need the lite oracle instant client and oracle sqlplus instant client packages. If you try to run sqlplus after unzipping the files, you probably will see an error message similar to:
You can use otool to see the library locations embedded in the executables and libraries. Ex:
$ ./sqlplus dyld: Library not loaded: /ade/b/2649109290/oracle/sqlplus/lib/libsqlplus.dylib Referenced from: /Users/clucas/apps/instantclient_11_2/./sqlplus Reason: image not found Trace/BPT trap: 5This error can be fixed using one of the following methods:
- Move all the executables and supporting library files to locations which are searched by default (/usr/lib and /usr/bin.) See this stackoverflow answer.
- Set your DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable so that the sqlplus executable can find required oracle libraries and so that those libraries can also find their dependencies.
You can use otool to see the library locations embedded in the executables and libraries. Ex:
$ otool -L sqlplus sqlplus: /ade/b/2649109290/oracle/sqlplus/lib/libsqlplus.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0) /ade/b/2649109290/oracle/rdbms/lib/libclntsh.dylib.11.1 (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0) /ade/b/2649109290/oracle/ldap/lib/libnnz11.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 159.1.0)I assume those /ade/… paths are from the machine oracle used for building the instant client software. We can replace these with @executable_path in order to have the dynamic loader find the libraries in the same directory where the executable is found. We want to end up with something like:
$ otool -L sqlplus sqlplus: @executable_path/libsqlplus.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0) @executable_path/libclntsh.dylib.11.1 (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0) @executable_path/libnnz11.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 159.1.0)Assuming you also adjust the libraries in the same directory, you’ll be able to run sqlplus just by having it in your PATH. You can run the following script in the directory where sqlplus is located. It will change all of the oracle dynamic library references to use @executable_path instead of the /ade/… full path:
#!/bin/sh
# script to change the dynamic lib paths and ids for oracle instant client
# exes and libs
# proces all the executable files in this directory
find . -maxdepth 1 -type f \( -perm -1 -o \( -perm -10 -o -perm -100 \) \) -print | while read exe
do
echo adjusting executable $exe
baseexe=`basename $exe`
otool -L $exe | awk '/oracle/ {print $1}' | while read lib
do
echo adjusting lib $lib
baselib=`basename $lib`
if [ "$baseexe" = "$baselib" ]
then
echo changing id to $baselib for $exe
install_name_tool -id $baselib $exe
else
echo changing path id for $lib in $exe
install_name_tool -change $lib @executable_path/$baselib $exe
fi
done
done
Once the script is run and it changes the libs and executables, you
can just add the directory holding sqlplus to your path and run sqlplus.
No need to set any other oracle environment variables like

Thank you so much!!!!! This worked great for me after many other failed attempts.
