Hello,
I'm trying to install PHP for Apache on RedHat from source. I've done it several times with no problems, but I have never included OCI8 support.
So, this time I installed Oracle 9i client in my box and tested it successfully (sqlplus works fine). After that I tried to recompile php, using in the configure options two that I hadn't include before:
--with-oci=$ORACLE_HOME (this variable is set, I tried expanding it and avoiding it, with the same result)
--enable-sigchild (I'm not sure why this one is needed but I saw this option included in many forums so I gave it a try).
When the configuration runs I can see:
"checking for Oracle-OCI8 support... no"
Ignoring that, I continue with the installation and watch phpinfo() result, wich doesn't mention Oracle support anywhere.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
--Claudio
