Compile Problem: Unixware and Oracle

Anon

I am in the process of installing PHP version 4 as a cgi with mysql, ftp and oracle support on a Unixware 1.1 machine.

When I run the configure app with just mysql and ftp support enabled, it goes fine. When I add oracle into the mix, the configure fails - stating that needed libraries are not found.

The server does have oracle v7 loaded to it... however, I think that I might be missing some key libraries. Has anyone compiled (or is anyone willing to compile) a similar configuration successfully? Or, does anybody know what oracle libraries are required when compiling PHP4?

hi,
library needed is libclntsh.so
Different problems occur generally when compiling with Oracle . here are general things to check.
1) make sure u have set your ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME ans LD_LIBRARY_PATH correctely.
2) make sure your oracle version is found by configure. It normally reads it in $ORACLE_HOME/orainst/unix.rgs as a first try.
3)make sure u can access the include files needed for compiling. As a first try depending on oracle version it tries to find them in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/public. If they are not there they are prob. in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo. Copy them where configure wants them. What only matters is that it finds them.
That should be it for configure.
4) configure --with-oracle --with-apxs=$APACHE_DIR/bin/apxs
5)Next step is to compile with make and then link (make install ).
At linking stage , make sure LIBTOOL uses -lclntsh as a parameter.
If not u may have to modify config_vars.mk.
Good luck.
