Error during installing PHP on HP-UX

[Vijay Kumar Dosapati]

Hi

I'm installing PHP for Oracle on HP-UX Itanium , 11iv3 OS, with below options:
./configure \
--prefix=/var/apps/php \
--with-apxs2=/opt/hpws/apache/bin/apxs \
--with-oci8=instantclient,/t02/oracle/DEV1/db/tech_st/11.1.0/instantclient_11_1/instantclient_11_1 \
--disable-dom \
--disable-libxml
during instllation it is showing error "checking Oracle Instant Client version... configure: error: Oracle Instant Client libraries not found"

Pls suggest me.

Regards
Vijay

Hi Vijay:

It appears that you need to install the Oracle Instant Client. It's free and available here:

I don't know which PHP version you are building.
But you must change the configure script for it to find the OCI libraries.
You should find the following lines in the configure script:

*hpux*)
SHLIB_SUFFIX_NAME=sl
SHLIB_DL_SUFFIX_NAME=sl
;

Change "*hpux*)" to "hppa*hpux*)". Afterwards, run the configure
script once again.

Hi Shinji Teragaito

I'm using PHP 5.3.0. I have also Installed Oracle Instant Client.

The configure script for PHP 5.3.0 must be changed as I
mentioned. Then it could find OCI libraries.

Hi Shinji Teragaito

I have changed *hpux* to "hppa*hpux* as suggested , but now showing error :
./configure[4003]: Syntax error at line 4049 : `SAPI' is not expected

Pls suggest

How did you change the configure script ? Here are my changes:

% diff configure.org configure
3843c3843
< for flag in -kthread -pthread -pthreads -mthreads -Kthread -threads -mt -qthreaded; do
---
> for flag in -mt -kthread -pthread -pthreads -mthreads -Kthread -threads -qthreaded; do
4004c4004
< *hpux*)
---
> hppa*hpux*)
%

The changes at the line 3843 are not important to you because
you are using gcc.

I have used GD, iconv, JPEG, PNG, libXML2 and Zlib to support
some past inquiries in this forum.

I don't understand why you can not use HP-UX Apached-based Web
Server product with PHP 5.2.*. I'd recommend you to use the
latest version. I believe you can save your time.
