So an ugly fix would be to call the module OCI8.

Wouldn't this change fix it: -8.1) -AC_ADD_LIBRARY_WITH_PATH(clntsh, $OCI8_DIR/lib, OCI8_SHARED_LIBADD) -;; +8.1) +LIBS="-L$OCI8_DIR/lib $LIBS -lclntsh" +;; Dunno what to do to that shared part though.. Maybe there should be a own macro for AC_ADD_LIBRARY_WITH_PATH in the config.m4 for oci8? Like this: AC_DEFUN(AC_ADD_OCI8_LIBRARY_WITH_PATH,[ ifelse($3,,[ if test -n "$2"; then AC_ADD_LIBPATH($2) fi LIBS="$LIBS -lclntsh" ],[ if test "$ext_shared" = "yes"; then $3="[$]$3 -l$1" if test -n "$2"; then AC_ADD_LIBPATH($2,$3) fi else AC_ADD_OCI8_LIBRARY_WITH_PATH($1,$2) fi ]) ]) >I'm hoping that someone that knows the configure stuff better than me can >fix it.
