PHP + ORACLE + APACHE

I'm trying to install PHP with support for Oracle8i 8.1.5. I tried the following: ./configure --with-oci8=/oracle/product/8.1.5 --with-oracle=/oracle/product/8.1.5 --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --enable-sigchild make make install (as root) cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini when i attempted to restart apache, the httpd processes never started. confirmed this with 'ps'. when i take out the --with-oci8 and --with-oracle and --enable-sigchild switches from the configure command, php installs and runs with apache without support for oracle. i'd very much like to have support for oracle since that is my job! i do have oracle installed (the entire database package) and have run several apps against the oracle db as well as remote db's with no problems using sqlplus and perl. everything looks like it's configured correctly on the oracle and apache end, what am i doing wrong with php?
