OK, in light of the fact that the php4.0.3 release on php.net DOES include the
extensions for Sybase, Informix and Oracle, AND the fact that the above error
messages state "One of the library files needed..." instead of "Cannot find
extension...", it looks like you're trying to load these extensions without
having the necessary client software installed on your web server.
In order to run any of these database extensions (Oracle, Sybase, MS-SQL Server,
etc.), you must have that database server's client libraries/software
installed. The extensions rely on client software in order to run (the client
connectivity IS NOT bundled into the database extensions). The extensions
merely act as a "go betweeen" for the client software. That make sense?
