#39888 [NEW]: PHP 4.4.4 does not compile with Oracle OCI8 instant client

From: Martin dot Schnoy at hydro dot com Operating system: AIX 5.3 ML05 PHP version: 4.4.4 PHP Bug Type: OCI8 related Bug description: PHP 4.4.4 does not compile with Oracle OCI8 instant client Description: ------------ Configure reqests the shared OCI library libclntsh.so. The Oracle instant client for AIX (10.1 as well as 10.2) is shipped with libclntsh.a which is supposed to be a shared library(according to Oracle support). I opened a SR at Oracle because I expect them to ship libclntsh.so. Oracle asked to report a bug at PHP also. They say PHP should link libclntsh.a on AIX. Oracle Reference: SR number 6037776.993 Reproduce code: --------------- configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --disable-cli --without-mysql --with-oci8-instant-client=/usr/local/instantclient10_1 Expected result: ---------------- Configure running successfully Actual result: -------------- ... checking for Oracle (OCI8) support using ORACLE_HOME installation... no checking for Oracle (OCI8) support using Oracle Instant Client... yes checking Oracle Instant Client directory... /usr/local/instantclient10_1 checking Oracle Instant Client SDK header directory... /usr/local/instantclient1 0_1/sdk/include checking Oracle Instant Client version... configure: error: Oracle Instant Clien t library version not supported -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39888&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39888&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39888&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39888&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39888&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39888&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39888&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39888&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39888&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39888&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39888&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39888&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39888&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39888&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39888&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39888&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39888&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39888&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39888&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39888&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39888&r=mysqlcfg
