Compile PHP and ORACLE_HOME woes

425431Jul 14 2004 — edited Jul 14 2004
I am having a heck-of-a-time getting enough Oracle installed so I can do a PHP build to talk to a networked Oracle 8i.

Linux i386 Fedora Core1

I've thoroughly gone over the page:
http://otn.oracle.com/tech/opensource/php/apache/inst_php_apache_linux.html
but unfortunately, it doesn't describe installing just enough of the client pieces to be able to set the php configure scripts "--with-oci8=$ORACLE_HOME"

I found out the hard way that 'instant-client' doesn't have the necessary files.

So I bit the bullet and did the 1.5 gig download, hoping I would have the option to install just the client (is this true?)

but the installer immediately throws this error:

#./runInstaller

Initializing Java Virtual Machine from
/tmp/OraInstall2004-07-14_02-32-27PM/jre/bin/java. Please wait...
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Unable to load native library:
/tmp/OraInstall2004-07-14_02-32-27PM/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so: symbol
__libc_wait, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time
reference

is this a glibc problem?


So is there a simple way to do this? Is there ANY way to do this?? :-)

Is it possible to just get the necessary files from the install packages? and set the path to those? I'm guessing it's just some .h header files I need (in addition to the libs that instant-client installs. Does anyone have such a list???

Aarrrggghhhh!
TIA
Scott
