I found this very helpful page for explaining how to enable OCI8 on Mac OSX -- http://www.apachefriends.org/faq_osx.html
However, the first instruction says to run -- sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lampp oci8
When I run this command, I get an error -- /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lampp: command not found
I searched and find that I do not have a lampp binary anywhere on my OSX system. -- My configuration is:
Operating System = OSX/Maverick
XAMPP Version = 1.8.3-3
