I'm just trying to use SQL Plus to connect to a oracle database on a different server (8.1.7) so I didn't create a database on my G4 laptop. I just followed the steps up to configuring the env variables and the limits. When I try to run SQL Plus, I get the following:


Error accessing PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE
Warning: Product user profile information not loaded!
You may need to run PUPBLD.SQL as SYSTEM
Bus error (core dumped)



I did some research and the above error can be fixed by doing exactly what it says but I'm not the admin on the db server. Also the above error is not supposed to kill sql plus.. any ideas ? I'm used to using SQL plus on UNIX boxes and don't want to use 3rdparty GUI tools on OSX.
