I installed a new 19c database on Oracle Linux 8.
I installed all Instantclient packages (which took forever because of campatibility issues), including the devel package.
I think I set all the right environments correctly.
I have PHP 8.2 installed with all the standard extentions and then some, plus one that pecl asked for.
I run sudo pecl install oci8
When asked, I type instantclient,/usr/lib/oracle/18.5/client64
and then comes this:

I did some googling, and all the suggestions for this particular error was to install the devel package. Which I did, just in case something went wrong the first time.
The problem persists.
Can anyone help me, please?
