I have followed the Oracle method to the letter:

If so, where is it?No, there is not - the last certified version on Mac was 10.2.0.4 on Leopard, which is only available on Oracle's Support site for customers with a paid support contract. Download the Oracle Database 10g Client Release 2 from the otn.oracle.com web site. Unzip the file and put both the doc and ohome directories into a folder named instantclient, which I chose to put in the /Applications folder. Oracle Client 11gR2 (11.2.0.3) for Apple Mac OS X (Intel) It has been a while since we for the last time received some native software for the mac from Oracle. Short before the release of Oracle rdbms v12 it happened again, the v11gR2 client for the mac is released. Go here and download ‘Oracle SQL Developer for Mac OSX platforms. Once it’s downloaded, you’ll need to extract it and run it. I would move it out of the downloads folder to your applications folder first, but this will still work. Navicat for Oracle is a fully-featured macOS application specially made to increase and improve the productivity and efficiency of Oracle developers and administrators. User-oriented database development and administration tool. Navicat for Oracle’s streamlined working environment offers access to the core functionality of Oracle and to a long list of tools and features such as data. Subject to the Oracle Technology Network License Agreement for Oracle Instant Client software, licensees are authorized to use the version of Oracle Instant Client downloaded from this Oracle Technology Network webpage to provide third party training and instruction on the use of Oracle Instant Client.
I also tried setting PYTHONPATH and adding the Oracle client directory to sys.path using .pth and the site.py configuration options.
What exact command caused the problem (e.g. what command did you try to
install with)? Who were you logged in as?python -c 'import cx_Oracle; print cx_Oracle.version'
What error(s) you are seeing?
No matter what I tried I would get this error:
So there are lots of antidotal references to this being related to SIP (System Integrity Protection), though I could find no specific technical note from Apple that says exactly what is causing the above error (inability to find dynamic linked library at run time).
So I did find a solution that did not require disabling SIP on Mac OS X. It is pretty simple, and seems to support the theory of SPI being an issue, and matches a lot of notes about discontinuing usage of the LD and DYLD paths.
From the source code download, I ran:python setup.py build
once it is built I then modified the rpath of the cx_Oracle.so library to include the Oracle instant client location:install_name_tool -add_rpath ~/instantclient_12_1 ./build/lib.macosx-10.12-intel-2.7/cx_Oracle.so
I could very it was added by using the otool command:otool -l ./build/lib.macosx-10.12-intel-2.7/cx_Oracle.so
Now that it has been modified, I can do the normal install.
sudo python setup.py install
This puts the cx_oracle egg into the normal system path
Post this modification I can now call python and use cx_Oracle on Mac OS X normally.
The biggest issues for this are:
I beat my head on a wall for at least two days trying all the normal workarounds. This was the only model that worked.
Admiralty I didn't try any of this with Pip, I only did this from source code.
I also tied setting FORCE_RPATH=1 but on introspection it never updated the .so file correctly.
Hope this helps some future install issues.
Thanks,
Gary
