Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60901&edit=1 ID: 60901 Comment by: lzsiga at freemail dot c3 dot hu 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: Okay, thank you for your help. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-09-14 07:20:07] sixd@php.net I merged the "tail" fix. I'm closing this bug out. I understand you'll need to create a symlink like other platforms. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-09-14 07:18:13] sixd@php.net Automatic comment on behalf of sixd Revision: http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=commit;h=bbf5978e2641d924c2d4d1c47210756943a28f7b Log: Fixed bug #60901 (Improve "tail" syntax for AIX installation) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-09-13 08:16:20] lzsiga at freemail dot c3 dot hu A new aspect of this problem: an over-zealous version of 'tail' wouldn't accept syntax 'tail -1' only 'tail -n1' (in this line in configure: OCI8_LCS=ls $OCI8_LCS_BASE.*.1 2> /dev/null | tail -1 # Oracle 10g, 11g etc ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-02-23 21:42:00] sixd@php.net What created libclntsh.so.11.2? The instantclient-basic-aix.ppc64- 11.2.0.3.0.zip and instantclient-basic-aix.ppc32-11.2.0.3.0.zip files only contain libclntsh.so I don't consider creating a libcntsh.so.11.1 symlink such a hack, since creating the reverse symlink is required on other platforms. See http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e10646/oci01int.htm#LNOCI16174 However I can improve the installation experience on AIX once I understand what the installed environment commonly looks like. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-01-30 05:56:56] lzsiga at freemail dot c3 dot hu It might work, but I wouldn't want to hack around in the Oracle's directory... could you please add an option to ./configure prevent the version-autodetecting? Something like: OCI8_VERSION=11.2 ./configure --with-oci8 or export OCI8_VERSION="$(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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
