Bug #60901 [Csd]: Oracle-11.2 is not detected (too new)

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60901&edit=1 ID: 60901 Updated by: sixd@php.net Reported by: lzsiga at freemail dot c3 dot hu Summary: Oracle-11.2 is not detected (too new) Status: Closed Type: Bug Package: OCI8 related Operating System: AIX 6.1 PHP Version: 5.3.9 Assigned To: sixd Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I merged the "tail" fix. I'm closing this bug out. I understand you'll need to create a symlink like other platforms.

The instantclient-basic-aix.ppc64- 11.2.0.3.0.zip and instantclient-basic-aix.ppc32-11.2.0.3.0.zip files only contain libclntsh.so I don't consider creating a libcntsh.so.11.1 symlink such a hack, since creating the reverse symlink is required on other platforms. See http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e10646/oci01int.htm#LNOCI16174 However I can improve the installation experience on AIX once I understand what the installed environment commonly looks like. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-01-30 05:56:56] lzsiga at freemail dot c3 dot hu It might work, but I wouldn't want to hack around in the Oracle's directory... could you please add an option to ./configure prevent the version-autodetecting? Something like: OCI8_VERSION=11.2 ./configure --with-oci8 or export OCI8_VERSION="$(grep OCI_MAJOR_VERSION $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/public/oci.h | cut -d' ' -f 4).$(grep OCI_MINOR_VERSION $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/public/oci.h | cut -d' ' -f 4)" ./configure --with-oci8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-01-27 20:47:04] sixd@php.net Instead of patching the configuration script can you try creating a symbolic link from libclntsh.so and/or libclntsh.so.11.1 pointing to libclntsh.so.11.2? For ORACLE_HOME installs on Linux (and likely on Solaris) a symbolic link from libclntsh.so to libclntsh.so.11.1 is automatically created during Oracle installation. Linux & Solaris 11.2 Instant Client zip installs provide libclntsh.so.11.1 (for drop-in library replacement similar to how Oracle 10.2 libs were called *.10.1). Generic installation instructions for Instant Client are to manually create a symbolic link from libclntsh.so to libclntsh.so.11.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
