PHP 4.0 Bug #4165: Need "-R$ORACLE_HOME/lib" when linking libphp4.so ?

From: cgibbons@nyx.net Operating system: Solaris 7 PHP version: 4.0 Release Candidate 1 PHP Bug Type: Oracle related Bug description: Need "-R$ORACLE_HOME/lib" when linking libphp4.so ? Here's the error: $ sudo /etc/init.d/apachectl start Syntax error on line 208 of /usr/local/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/etc/httpd/libexec/libphp4.so into server: ld.so.1: /usr/local/etc/httpd/bin/httpd: fatal: libclntsh.so.1.0: open failed: No such file or directory /etc/init.d/apachectl start: httpd could not be started Line 208 of httpd.conf is: LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so The libclntsh.so.1.0 file is in $ORACLE_HOME/lib. This leads me to believe that $ORACLE_HOME/lib need's to be added to libphp4.so's library search path at link time, using the linker's "-R" flag -- perhaps a makefile or a configure script needs tweaking? For a temporary fix, I've added code to /etc/init.d/apachectl to set up an LD_LIBRARY_PATH with $ORACLE_HOME/lib before the server is started, but of course messing with LD_LIBRARY_PATH is never the ideal solution...
