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
