FW: [PHP4BETA] installation help, then a more technical serious q uestion

hmmm... libsqlnet.a never got installed. It's not in the ORACLE_HOME/lib directory, nor is it anywhere else to be seen. I installed Oracle 8.0.5 from CD, and chose every option except the full server and the JDBC drivers. This is exactly what I used when I installed PHP3, and I had no issues whatsoever. Now, with PHP4Beta2, the libsqlnet is an issue. I have installed all three of the major necessary patches from the Oracle site (glibcpatch, lnxpatch, linux8051patchset). And yes, I was using "--activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a", that should be correct, no? Regarding the ociplogon... not sure. If that were the case, then why would there be a big deal about PHP4 finally supporting sessions? What's the difference between PHP4's session capabilities and the persistent connection (via ociplogon) in PHP3? Brian R.
