How can you tell it's the same problem ?
Full build log and config.log, please.

The real question is now: is oracle-instantclient-basic supposed to be installed with a "client64" path?

I mentioned this error in PHP bug http://bugs.php.net/44989 which is the related bug report.

[Comment 5 Ivan Bagaev 2011-09-14 07:14:17 UTC]

In my case oracle-instant-client instal into /usr/lib64/oracle/11.2.0.2/client

[Comment 6 Patrick ALLAERT 2011-09-14 15:33:52 UTC]

(In reply to comment #5)
> In my case oracle-instant-client instal into /usr/lib64/oracle/11.2.0.2/client

Same here (with 11.2.0.3), hence why /usr/lib64/oracle/11.2.0.2/client64 doesn't match it.

[Comment 7 Joerg Neikes 2011-10-12 14:22:51 UTC]

like in https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=381007

ln -s /usr/lib64/oracle/10.2.0.3/client/include /usr/include/oracle/10.2.0.3/client64
ln -s /usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3/client/ /usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3/client64

use static path:
PDO_OCI_IC_PREFIX='/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3'
PDO_OCI_IC_PREFIX='/usr/lib/oracle/11.2.0.2'
The version must be set for your oracle client.

And add own patch:


mkdir -p /etc/portage/patches/dev-lang/php-5.3.8
cp php-5.3-pdo_oci.patch /etc/portage/patches/dev-lang/php-5.3.8

This works for me.

[Comment 8 Joerg Neikes 2011-10-12 14:23:27 UTC]

Created attachment 289659 [details, diff]
php-5.3-pdo_oci.patch

[Comment 9 Ivan Bagaev 2012-01-04 03:32:48 UTC]

I used USE='oci8' for a workaround, but since version 5.3.9_r3 this flag is removed. I think it's wrong.

[Comment 10 Ivan Bagaev 2012-01-19 11:43:05 UTC]

My variant ebuild with patch to resolve this problem:

[Comment 11 Matti Bickel (RETIRED) 2012-02-22 21:45:44 UTC]

Simply letting php figure it out itself worked for me: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/555195/

This relies on the fact that oracle-instantclient-basic supplies an /etc/env.d file with ORACLE_HOME pointing to the correct directory.

If that turns out to work for somebody beside me, I'll commit it this week.

[Comment 12 Matti Bickel (RETIRED) 2012-02-27 22:04:33 UTC]

Applied my patch.
