Re: linking against Oracle 8i client libraries

I went throught this same agony not too long ago myself. The client libraries are basically just header files that you need from an Oracle 8i server install. After installing the Oracle8i Client on my Apache box, it didn't install the header files I needed. I compiled using --with-oci=/usr/local/oracle/8i/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5. It looks for these header files in the $ORACLE_HOME/network/public directory. Just to be safe (I didn't want to take the time to find out EXACTLY which header/source files I needed), I copied ALL of the header/source files in the $ORACLE_HOME/network/public folder from the server install to the client install. This worked for me. Hope this helps...
