Hi Dom,

This is due to El Capitan's SIP.

It's a general issue for all users of Oracle client libraries.
E.g node-oracledb also has the problem: https://github.com/oracle/node-oracledb/issues/231

There are various scripts around that might help:

This may or may not have issues.

I'm waiting to hear from our Apple group for their recommendations.

Chris
