Richard, Below is a copy of my reply to someone else on this topic from last June (so I'm not entirely sure the -lpthread part still applies). It sounds like the error message might be related to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH envoronment setting. Alternatively, I think you can edit /etc/ld.so.conf to add a line pointing to your $ORACLE_HOME/lib, and then run ldconfig. Hope this helps, Joe <old email> I had a similar problem which took two actions to solve it. First, recompile apache after adding "-lpthread" (without the quotes) to the LIBS1 line in the makefile. Apparently this is related to a known glibc bug and the fact that the oracle client library is threaded. Alternatively you can add "LIBS=-lpthread \" (no quotes) just before OPTIM="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" \ in the apache.spec file if you want to work from an RPM source file (this is what I did). The second thing to check is that you have LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib defined in your environment. Hope this helps. Joe </old email>
