Installing Oracle XE on Mac Leopard (issue with a segmentation fault)

I am trying to install Oracle XE 10.2 on my Mac Leopard. However, it doesn't go without a lot of fuzz. Thankfully I have this tutorial at my disposal: http://bit.ly/a4rc4O

The only pain I am left with is the following command that fails (from the cfgtoollogs/configToolAllCommands).

/Users/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/netca /orahome /Users/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1 /orahnam OraDb10g_home1 /instype custom /inscomp client,oraclenet,javavm,server,ano /insprtcl tcp /cfg local /authadp NO_VALUE /nodeinfo NO_VALUE /responseFile /Users/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/network/install/netca_typ.rsp

Which generates the following output:

#
# The exception above was detected in native code outside the VM
#
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (1.4.2-92 mixed mode)
#
/Users/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/jdk/jre/bin/java: line 2: 27805 Segmentation fault      /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Home/bin/java -Xbootclasspath/a:/Users/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/jdk/jre/lib/ext:/Users/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/jdk/lib/ext $*

I want to run Oracle on my Mac, as software I need relies on Oracle database. I fetched the binary from the Oracle website, and is supposed to work.

This box runs on Intel Core 2 Duo, running Leopard 10.5.8 and has Java 1.5.0 available. I more information is needed to analyze this, please comment and I will edit. Also some pointers where to look for would be nice. Thanks a bunch for help or trying to :)

Here is the full output from the log:

Pretty lame: changing the environment variable ORACLE_SID to lowercase, fixed the netca command. Yay!

I would recommend installing oracle on VM. for more instructions, visit https://tech.lds.org/wiki/Oracle_VM

Are you sure it is Oracle XE? I can't find a download for that on Oracle's web site. Did you extract the RPM contents of the Linux RPM in order to do the install? I would love to get XE working, but I can only find instructions for Oracle 10g.
