Note Submitter: nasser / at / unixica dot com ---- More on the header files needed to compile PHP... I installed the client side of Oracle 9i for Linux in different configurations, and could not get the oci*.h files that PHP requires for compilation. So in the end, I searched for them through the jar files, and here's the result: As you probably know, the Oracle for Linux package comes in three download files, or three disks. Go to this path: /path/to/disks/Disk2/stage/Components/oracle.rdbms.oci The rest of the directories are based on the release number, so they may look a little bit different but you get the picture: 9.2.0.1.0/1/DataFiles/public.1.1.jar and use "jar xf" to extract it and grab the header files. Copy them to: $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo And your make will work. Since this wasted half of a day of mine (even after going through lots of comments on the Internet) I hope it saves somebody else's time... Nasser
