How to install on Mac OSX 10.9 Mavericks

Slightly updated version of install of ruby-oci8 for 10.9/OSX Mavericks - step-by-step:

1. Go here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/intel-macsoft-096467.html
2. Download the 64bit versions of instantclient-sqlplus, instantclient-sdk, instantclient-basic - the 32bit versions do not work with OSX 10.9
3. Create directories at /opt/oracle
4. Unzip instantclient-basic first, move to /opt/oracle (should add a folder - something like /opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2/)
5. Unzip instantclient-sdk and move its contents to /opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2/
6. Unzip instantclient-sqlplus and move its contents /opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2/
7. Open Terminal (if you haven't already) and type...
8. DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2 export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
9. ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2 export ORACLE_HOME
10. cd /opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2
11. ln -s libclntsh.dylib.11.1 libclntsh.dylib (creates a symbolic link)
12. env
13. verify that DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2 (be sure there's no trailing / after instantclient_11_2)
14. verify ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2
15. gem install ruby-oci8

Should work after that. The file structure should look similar to: http://bit.ly/1ibBnbY
