 Summary:            Oracle-11.2 is not detected (too new)

 New Comment:

The tail "fix" breaks compilation on Solaris for php version 5.3.18, which worked until
version 5.3.17.

Not all "tail" implementations support "-n1". On Solaris default
"tail" only support "-1".

You could switch to using a variable TAIL and auto detect a working tail implementation
(understanding "-n"), which on Solaris would be the non standard /usr/xpg4/bin/tail. Users
could overwrite with a new --with-tail switch.

Okay, thank you for your help.

I merged the "tail" fix.  I'm closing this bug out.  I understand you'll need to

create a symlink like other platforms.

Log: Fixed bug #60901 (Improve "tail" syntax for AIX installation)

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
)

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.
