I get below error when I try to connect to oracle in PHP on SUSE 10. I orginally posted this question in PHP forum but I was advised to post it to Linux forum. so here is the error and other details.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function oci_connect()

I followed one of the documentation realed to this error and I get below error.

Cannot find autoconf. Please check your autoconf installation and the $PHP_AUTOCONF
environment variable is set correctly and then rerun this script.

I was looking into below link. But I could not find oci8.so file after the OCI build.

===================================================

===> In reply to my request *"mgogala's"* reply was as below.

Install autoconf using yast. Check whether the package is installed by using:

$>rpm -qa autoconf
autoconf-2.59-5

BTW, this is not a Linux forum. There is one on OTN, I'm sure that Frits Hoogland will gladly help you out.

====>
I am not able to find "autoconf" rpm for Suse 10.
Below is the exact version details of the O/S.

Please let me know, from where can I download this RPM?
