installation blues with oracle 8i

Dear readers, I try to install oci8 support in php4 on suse 7.1 linux But all I meet is trouble. The problem is most likely the fact that oracle comes with a version of glibc 2.1.3 that i have to install to get oracle running at all But after I finally succeeded to get it installed I tried to compile php4 with oci8 support with a debug.log as follows: begonia:/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/php-4.0.4pl1 # cat debug.log CONFIGURE: './configure' '--with-oci8' '--with-apxs' '--without-mysql' '--with out-msql' CC: gcc CFLAGS: -g -O2 CPPFLAGS: -DEAPI_MM -DSINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE - D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DHARD_SERVER_LIMIT=2048 -DDYNAMIC_MODULE_LIMIT=128 -DLINU X=2 -DMOD_SSL=207101 -DEAPI -DUSE_EXPAT CXX: CXXFLAGS: INCLUDES: -I/usr/include/apache -I$(top_builddir)/Zend -I/u01/app/oracle/pro duct/8.1.7/rdbms/public -I/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/rdbms/demo LDFLAGS: -Wl,-rpath,/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib -L/u01/app/oracle/prod uct/8.1.7/lib LIBS: -lm -ldl -lresolv -lm -ldl -lcrypt -lnsl -lresolv -lclntsh DLIBS: SAPI: apache PHP_RPATHS: /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib uname -a: Linux begonia 2.2.18-SMP #1 SMP Wed Jan 24 12:30:30 GMT 2001 i686 un known gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -DEAPI_MM -DSINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT -D_LARGEFI LE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DHARD_SERVER_LIMIT=2048 -DDYNAMIC_MODULE_LIMIT =128 -DLINUX=2 -DMOD_SSL=207101 -DEAPI -DUSE_EXPAT -Wl,-rpath,/u01/app/oracle/p roduct/8.1.7/lib -L/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib conftest.c -lm -ldl -lresol v -lm -ldl -lcrypt -lnsl -lresolv -lclntsh 1>&5 /usr/lib/libresolv.so: undefined reference to `__res_nclose@GLIBC_2.2' /lib/libpthread.so.0: undefined reference to `__sysctl@GLIBC_2.2' /lib/libpthread.so.0: undefined reference to `_IO_list_unlock@GLIBC_2.2' /lib/libpthread.so.0: undefined reference to `_IO_iter_file@GLIBC_2.2' /lib/libpthread.so.0: undefined reference to `getrlimit@GLIBC_2.2' /lib/libpthread.so.0: undefined reference to `_IO_list_resetlock@GLIBC_2.2' /lib/libpthread.so.0: undefined reference to `_IO_iter_begin@GLIBC_2.2' /usr/lib/libnsl.so: undefined reference to `svc_getreq_poll@GLIBC_2.2' /usr/lib/libnsl.so: undefined reference to `__strndup@GLIBC_2.2' /usr/lib/libnsl.so: undefined reference to `svc_max_pollfd@GLIBC_2.2' /lib/libpthread.so.0: undefined reference to `__libc_sigaction@GLIBC_2.2' /lib/libpthread.so.0: undefined reference to `_IO_iter_next@GLIBC_2.2' /lib/libpthread.so.0: undefined reference to `_IO_iter_end@GLIBC_2.2' /lib/libpthread.so.0: undefined reference to `setrlimit@GLIBC_2.2' /lib/libpthread.so.0: undefined reference to `_IO_list_lock@GLIBC_2.2' /usr/lib/libresolv.so: undefined reference to `__res_init@GLIBC_2.2' /usr/lib/libresolv.so: undefined reference to `__res_ninit@GLIBC_2.2' /usr/lib/libnsl.so: undefined reference to `svc_pollfd@GLIBC_2.2' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status begonia:/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/php-4.0.4pl1 # I hope someone can shed some light over this regards: ------------------------------------------------------ J.F. van Hal(RK2334) Systems Administrator MDI NV Organon tel 31 (0)412 661541 P.O. box 20 fax 31 (0)412 662539 5340 BH OSS j.hal@organon.oss.akzonobel.nl The Netherlands. ------------------------------------------------------
