Description:
------------
I installed the instantclient library and when I try to run configure I get the following error:
checking for oci.h... configure: error: I'm too dumb to figure out where the include dir is in your instant client install

This is a bad error message, although quite humorous.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Here is my configure settings:
--with-oci8=instantclient,/usr/lib/oracle/10.1.0.3/client/lib --with-pdo-oci=instantclient,/usr/lib/oracle,10.1.0.3

So where is your include dir?
 [2006-10-30 22:41 UTC] andrew dot nagy at villanova dot edu
I installed the instant client to:
/usr/lib/oracle/10.1.0.3

Is this what you are asking for?
 [2006-10-30 23:06 UTC] tony2001@php.net
So the headers are in /usr/lib../?
I mean the .h files, oci.h for example.
 [2006-10-31 14:41 UTC] andrew dot nagy at villanova dot edu
Sorry.  It appears oracle is installed in 2 locations
/usr/lib and /usr/include and the headers are in /usr/include
 [2006-10-31 14:47 UTC] andrew dot nagy at villanova dot edu
Well, I changed my configure to:
--with-oci8=instantclient,/usr/lib/oracle/10.1.0.3/client/lib
--with-pdo-oci=instantclient,/usr/include/oracle,10.1.0.3

And am still getting the same error.  The first oci8 option passes in the configuration, but the PDO_OCI does not.  According to the ./configure --help, I am doing everything correctly ... I think.
 [2006-11-08 14:28 UTC] tony2001@php.net
I don't get it. Why did you change /lib/ to /include/?
Why do you have instant client installed in two locations?
Where is oci.h after all? Where is libclntsh.so?
 [2006-11-08 15:35 UTC] andrew dot nagy at villanova dot edu
The oci.h is under /usr/include/oracle
The libclntsh.so is under /usr/lib/oracle

I am not sure how the files got into 2 different dirs.  Maybe through an RPM?

I downloaded the latest copy of the instant client, and put it in a new directory.  I get the same errors, there is no oracle.h file in the instant client directory.
What am I missing?
Can the error reporting in the configure be a bit more verbose?
 [2006-11-08 15:43 UTC] tony2001@php.net
Please download the Instant Client in .zip archive, and put the files this way:
/tmp/instantclient/sdk/include/ <- headers
/tmp/instantclient/ <- libraries
That's all. --with-pdo-oci=instantclient,/tmp/instantclient should work after that.
 [2006-11-08 16:21 UTC] andrew dot nagy at villanova dot edu
No dice.

I installed instantclient-basic to: /office/lib/oci
I installed instantclient-sdk to: /office/lib/oci/sdk

It seems like it is looking for a directory called lib32 which I do not have.
Here is the error:

checking Oracle OCI support for PDO... yes
checking Oracle Install-Dir... instantclient,/office/lib/oci :instantclient,/office/lib/oci:

Getting closer, but I am still getting an error.

configure: error: Unsupported Oracle version!

Any ideas?

I'm using the latest download of the instant client.  I do not have oracle installed since I am connecting to a remote oracle server.  Which, if I understand correctly, is the whole point of the instant client.
 [2006-11-08 19:41 UTC] tony2001@php.net
Can't reproduce.
With --with-pdo-oci=instantclient,/tmp/oic,10.2.0.2 it works just fine.

 [2006-11-08 20:01 UTC] andrew dot nagy at villanova dot edu
Okay, that solved it.

I added the other symlink that you have and I added the version number back into my configure statement and I was able to pass the configure.

Is their anyway this checking can be added to the configure script?

>Is their anyway this checking can be added to the configure script?

What do you mean?
 [2006-11-08 21:21 UTC] andrew dot nagy at villanova dot edu
I guess I am saying that the error checking should be more verbose.  Instead of reporting "Im too dumb to find your missing files".

The most important part is adding the installation procedure to the doc page for PDO_OCI, but that hasn't been written yet it appears.
 [2006-11-08 21:37 UTC] tony2001@php.net
If you know how exactly to make it more verbose and clear - we would gladly accept your patch for ext/pdo_oci/config.m4.

 [2007-09-24 21:20 UTC] andrew dot nagy at villanova dot edu
I just did an install of php 5.2.4 on a brand new RHEL server.  The only way I could get this to work is by using the zip files provided by Oracle, not the RPMs.  Both the Basic and SDK are need (well I am assuming the Basic is needed).  Once I unzip the files, I needed to create 2 symbolic links -- both libclntsh.so and libocci.so.

Could this be fixed in the configure script to look for the original files instead of the renamed files?

For now - I have created a patch that makes the language a bit more intuitive if this helps at all.  It is diff'ed against the 5.2.4 release.

Tony, I wasn't sure to whom to assign this but you're one of the oci8 maintainers AFAIK. :)
 [2007-09-25 22:08 UTC] tony2001@php.net
Yeah, but I never maintained PDO_OCI.
 [2007-09-27 09:56 UTC] jani@php.net
Chris, can you check this out please?

More info about the lastest Oracle Instant Client under Linux: i'm configuring a web server with Apache2.2.11, PHP5.2.8, and OIC11.1, and PDO compile only works with this syntax:

./configure --with-oci8=shared,instantclient,/usr/lib/oracle --with-pdo-oci=instantclient,/usr/lib/oracle,11.1

Presuming /usr/lib/oracle is your Instant Client base directory. The great stuff is pass the version number at the command line, just as Andrew point us.

Thanks a lot, and i do suggest you to put this detail on the online documentation website, at installing PDO Oracle.

Best regards.

I've found a problem under MacOSX, the extension'.so' is hardcoded in the library detection for pdo_oci. This breaks under MacOSX because libclntsh has '.dylib' extension instead of '.so'.

To solve this problem the following patch has to be applied. Shall I open a new bug in order to get this included in upcomming php-Versions?

I will assume that "assigned" means open since this bug doesn't seem fixed yet.

I tried to install instantclient 10.2.0.4 with php-5.2.9 on RHEL5.

Tried it with the RPMs, didn't work, so I followed the instructions that other people suggested here on the php.net instantclient page.

I installed the client in /usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.4/client/
and the sdk in /usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.4/client/sdk/include/

I tried to configure with the switches: 

--with-oci8=shared,instantclient,/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.4/client --with-pdo-oci=instantclient,/usr/lib/oracle,10.2.0.4

without success, getting the error I'm too dumb to figure out where the libraries are in your Instant Client install. 

After checking it out with strace, it seems that it tries to find the files(headers and libs in the wrong directories). Also a import of ld.so.conf with the libs dir did not help apparently.

So here is what I saw:

stat64("/usr/lib/oracle/include/oracle/10.2.0.4/client/oci.h", 0xbf7f53b8) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0

rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [], 8)  = 0
stat64("/usr/lib/oracle/client/include/oci.h", 0xbf7f5148) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

fixed temporary with ln -s /usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.4/client/sdk/ /usr/lib/oracle/sdk

and

ln -s /usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.4/client/ /usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.4/client/lib

which is somewhat ghetto.

I would like to hear if you have a smoother way to do that. If this bug is not considered open, can someone please email me if you have another workaround if this comment gets deleted?
 [2009-07-14 14:36 UTC] cmroddy at gmail dot com
following tony2001's directions exactly i am of course able to 
reproduce this problem. i got the thing to build once a couple of years 
ago but haven't succeeded since then. as i recall it took several days 
of continuous shell games with the configure script.

it seems there is no one around to maintain PDO_OCI. i can sympathize 
with this. i certainly wouldn't want to maintain it either. but if this 
build can't be made to work even given explicit paths to every single 
file it needs, then PDO_OCI needs to be dropped entirely and deleted 
from the documentation.
 [2009-09-04 23:09 UTC] jnichols959 at gmail dot com
seems like pdo_oci will configure, compile and run correctly with the proper environment variables and configure commands everywhere *except* on mac os x.  the patch suggested in comment http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=39312#c144683 of this bug fixes it on mac os x (tested with 10.2.0.4 instantclient and os x 10.5.8) and also works on linux (centos 5.3 x86_64 and 10.2.0.4 instantclient also x86_64).

can someone with access test and hopefully apply the patch so os x users can use pdo_oci without hacking the configure script?
 [2009-09-16 21:13 UTC] matts at iastate dot edu
Here is a patch which will let you build the pdo_oci lib with the instant client on debian or ubuntu systems.  Save the contents to oci_patch.txt, and then run it against your config.m4 file like so:

cd PDO_OCI-1.0 && patch -p0 < /path/to/oci_patch.txt

Since the above messed up the formatting, I'll keep a copy of the patch here for the meantime:

I got it to build on Redhat using the instantclient RPM.  Here's what I did.

manually added the following to config.m4 to allow for Oracle instant client

if you have instant client of lower version its not needed.

Then I re phpize 'd it. and ran configure:
(esimard at mediagrif dot com)'s strace showed me the only dir I needed was /usr

./configure --with-pdo-oci=instantclient,/usr,11.1.0.1

configure, make and make install completed successfully

There seem to be a number of overlapping issues in this bug some of which have been fixed by now.

See http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44989
Note the use with RPMs only requires the top level path /usr and
the version number should either be 10.2.0.4 or 11.2 (not 11.2.0.2) depending on which Instant Client you use.

Also support for 11.2 added in http://svn.php.net/viewvc?view=revision&revision=294487 

The only obviously outstanding issue is to change from hardcoded .so given in the patch inline by: [2009-01-29 10:37 UTC] michael-ring at t-online dot de

checking for oci.h... configure: error: I'm too dumb to figure out where the include dir is in your instant client install

my oracle instantclient installed in /usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/lib directory and libclntsh.so.11.1 file is in  /usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/lib/libclntsh.so.11.1  directory. 

There is .h ectentions file resides in /usr/include/oracle/11.2/client directory. i configure path but it display error like above .
