Compile PHP and ORACLE_HOME woes
425431Jul 14 2004 — edited Jul 14 2004I 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
