This sounds like a heck of alot of work. Is there any shortcuts? I recall the first build of Oracle for Linux was a total nightmare. Take care....

Then run configure --with-oracle again and it should find the requisite libraries and install the support. You can then connect to a database over the LAN from PHP.
