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

ID: 4165 User Update by: cgibbons@nyx.net Status: Open Bug Type: Oracle related 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.

Oh yeah, I forgot, here was the configure line, as reported by phpinfo(): Configure command: './configure' '--prefix=/usr/local/php' '--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc/httpd/conf' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/etc/httpd/bin/apxs' '--with-oracle=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.0.4' (Since the user that executed ./configure doesn't have the ORACLE_HOME environment variable set, it had to be explicity specified in the --with-oracle option. Perhaps this linker problem goes away if the "--with-oracle" pathname is taken from the environment instead of from the ./configure command line? I don't know...)
