oracle 9i + apache

Hi As anyone sucesfully compiled php4 with OCI suport as an apache module on a Oracle 9i database ? if so i would be very intersted by some tips on how make it work. i couldnt make it , on a linux Suse7.2, kernel 2.4.4 i have been able to suceffuly compile php statically, making a symlink from libclntsh.so.9.0 to libclntsh.so.8.0 if i run "php" as a comand interpreter for a script ,the script will sucefully use OCI8 function. hoever this does not seam to work for a php apache module. apache wont start (at least for me) i tried on the oracle apache java server, or on the suse pre installed one .. i olso tried to compile php on this sytem, but using withOCI="dir to an old copy of oracle8" so it would really link with the v8 librarys ... it dont works neither. i havent tried yet to make php as static lib to build apache with it as a static build-in module. but this is not really an option i can have on production for that system.(i have to use a third-party apache binary)
