Could you please try the latest CVS snapshot:

http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz

I think this is already fixed. Configure is just detecting
wrong version.

I'm sorry to tell you that the problem is exist still. When I download the file which your refer to, the report became:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libphp4.la] Error1.

When I get rid of parameter --with-mysql=shared,/usr 
then the report was below:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lclntsh
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libphp4.la] Error 1

I think the error should be cause of glibc library, because I use RedHat 7.1 have none of any error.

Do you happen to have the paths to both to the oracle libraries and mysql libraries specified in /etc/ld.so.conf ?? e.g. I have /home/ora_user/OraHome1/lib in there..

If not, add them and run /sbin/ldconfig

If this helps, close this report, otherwise, you need
to tell us your whole configure line used to configure PHP
and also add the couple of lines BEFORE that error you get.

btw. if ORACLE_HOME is set correctly, you don't have to
put any path for --with-oci8

Hi, this is my configure, except the last two parameters, all others parameter was copy from result of phpinfo(), my database home is /u01/app/oracle/product/9.0.1 and my os is RedHat 7.3. When I make it, the error is show:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lclntsh
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libphp4.la] Error 1

Try dropping that last option out (--with-oracle) as the oci8 is the one you should be using anyway..

Sorry, I've tried many times and can't successfulness! I hope next version will resolve the problem.

You never answered whether or not you have the path
to the oracle libraries in your /etc/ld.so.conf

Check that and add the path if it's missing. 
It should be $ORACLE_HOME/lib

Then untar fresh sources from the snapshot tar.gz,
and try with this configure line:

./configure --with-oci8

(if your $ORACLE_HOME environment variable is set correctly,
you don't need to pass it in the configure)

I build PHP with oracle support all the time (on RH 6.2) without any problems, so I don't think this is any bug.

Thank you for your help, I build PHP with oracle support all the time (on RH 7.1) without any problems too, but on RH 7.3 it can't successfullness, let's wait next version.

Obviously some problem with RH 7.3 then. Try contacting the RH support? This really isn't bug in PHP so I'm closing this now.

i m using redhat pclinux 2.4.21-4.EL

Error info is below:
/usr/bin/ld:cannot find -lclntsh

How can we install this file
