[PHP-INSTALL] Building PHP with Oracle support

Hi,

I am trying to compile PHP 5.2.0 on RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 AS 64 bit
with Oracle support. (not oci8).

The configure line I have used is:
../configure --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs
--with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
--with-oracle=/export/oracle/pegasus/product/9.2.0 --with-ldap=/usr
--enable-sigchild --enable-libgcc

It compiles ok without error, however however when I view phpinfo I have
no Oracle section.

If I compile with --with-oci8=/export/oracle/pegasus/product/9.2.0 that
compiles and shows OCI8 in the phpinfo however we aren't using oci8 for
our application making that useless.

I am not sure if it is an issue whereby it is compiled but no oracle
support ended up compiling for whatever reason or a runtime issue where
it is compiled with oracle support but is not finding something it needs
when it runs in order for Oracle support to work.

Anyone able to help?

Re: Building PHP with Oracle support

Wow - I suddenly realize It's been a long time since I compiled
the obsolete "oracle" extension. We've done so much with the newer
"oci8" one recently.

I had a similar problem with PDO_OCI recently that turned out to
be a linking problem.
