title: Issue installing Oracle SQL Developer on my MacBookPro - Am I missing a component?
body: <p>I had to recently re-install OS X on my MBP and am in the process of re-installing all of my apps. One app that worked just fine in the past, but is now giving me errors is Oracle SQL Developer and I can't for the life of me figure out what I am missing.</p>
  
  <p>Here's what I have tried:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Downloaded and installed SQL Developer on my machine.</li>
  <li>Downloaded the Instant Client related files - <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/intel-macsoft-096467.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/intel-macsoft-096467.html</a> (I installed all of the 64 bit related stuff on this page - Im on a 64 bit machine), combined it into one folder and moved it my /usr folder using this guide: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/684352/installing-oracle-instantclient-on-mac-os-x-without-setting-environment-variable">installing Oracle Instantclient on Mac OS/X without setting environment variables?</a></li>
  <li>I also installed this the JDK: <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html</a> </li>
  <li>I also set up my TNSNames.ora file and copied it to my /etc folder (This is required on a mac)</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p><strong>Here's my problem - If I attempt to connect to my Oracle instance using the above, it throws this error:</strong></p>
  
  <p><em>An error was encountered performing the requested operation:
  no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path
  Vendor code 0</em></p>
  
  <p>This occurs whether I use basic or the TNS connection type.</p>
  
  <p>So my question to my fellow developers is - Am I missing something in terms of the install above? I have tried googling for that particular error message and not found anything useful. At first glance, it seems like SQL Developer is looking for some file.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for your answers!</p>
  
  <p><strong><em>EDIT - The version of SQL Developer that I am trying to install is 3.1.07 and I am trying to connect to an 11G instance.</em></strong></p>
