Re: PHP/Oracle mod

From your mail, I understand that you cannot proceed past the compilation step. I've seen the same on previous versions of PHP for Linux, but now this is solved. Maybe the Solaris version didn't got the same fixes... Anyway, PHP will look at ORACLE_HOME for the required libraries which has now different semantics for Oracle. Now(Ora.8i.later) ORACLE_BASE points to old (Ora.8.0.xx) ORACLE_HOME. The new ORACLE_HOME should be $ORACLE_BASE/product/8.1.6 (or whatever version you have). Hope this helps. -Stathis. rbradley wrote: > > I'm really struggling configuring the php mod with oracle 8i support on > Solaris 8. > > ./configure --enable-track-vars --with-o8ci=/export/home/oracle > --with-oracle --enable-sigchild --with-apxs > > The ORACLE_HOME is set to /export/home/oracle. > > I am getting an error: > > checking Oracle Install-Dir... > +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ > | Notice: | > | If you encounter <defunc> processes when using a local Oracle-DB | > | please recompile PHP and specify --enable-sigchild when configuring| > | (This problem has been reported un Linux using Oracle >= 8.1.5) | > +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ > checking Oracle version... configure: error: Oracle needed libraries not found > > I installed the oracle 8i client prior to compiling.
