If you didn't hear the latest news, Oracle 10gR2 for Mac OS X is officially available for download.
Thanks to Scott Spendolini for reporting this exciting news.
Awaiting to finish the download and to begin the installation on Mac OS X 10.5.6.
Updated April 14. If you are primarily interested in getting Oracle Application Express to work on Mac OS X natively, then you'll have to wait until Oracle releases the missing server components as Apex is not yet supported. See Scott's posting.

Did you managed to install it? I am getting strange ORA-12547 TNS connection error when dbca tries to create database and I cannot understand the reason :(
Raymond,
i didn't, i was reviewing the pre-installation tasks and apparently i have to change a lot of kernel parameters.
Did you check that list first?
Moreover there is a strange statement that sounds like "install only on Mac OS X 10.5.4 server"
Most of the people will have 10.5.6 installed by this time, most likely not the server edition, so i am wondering if that statement makes any sense actually...
Anyway, i believe i'll do a test first installing it in a VM, i'd like to avoid messing up with my host server parameters.

I managed to solve my issue - the reason was that ulimit options were not specified correctly according to Oracle installation preconditions.
I published tutorial about how to install Oracle Database 10g on Mac OS X Intel:

Hope that this could be useful to others as well :)
Hello Raymond,
thanks for the posting!
It turns outa that the current distribution of 10gR2 for Mac OS X doesn't support Oracle Application Express, which is the main reason for having Oracle 10gR2 installed on a MacBook in the first place, so i fear that for the moment it would be a useless installation exercise...
