Description:
------------
On HP-UX the default shared library suffix is .sl in the configure script; however Oracle provides the libraries of the instantclient and it's database on HP-UX with .so suffix.
If I change the lines in configure which build the shlib suffix on hp-ux and change the .sl to .so it works fine.

Just to confirm, are you on Itanium or PA-RISC? Are you on 32 or 64 bit? And which version of Instant Client are you using?
 [2008-11-13 14:05 UTC] catalin at isp-software dot de 
It's a Itanium/64bit box.
I've tried with instantclient 11.1.0.6 and 10.2.0.4; both are the 32 bit versions downloaded from the oracle web site; the 32bit version for IA64

I'm told Instant Client uses .sl file extension on HP PA RISC and .so on HP Itanium. This is apparently what the 'ld' man pages specify.

Somehow the PHP build scripts need to differentiate between the two.

I don't have access to HP machines to test.  What is the effect of the following patch?  If it works, it will change the base shared library extension for PHP on Itanium.  This may or may not be a good thing.

To test the patch:
cd php53
make clean
patch < file_containing_the_patch
rm configure
./buildconf --force
./configure --with_your_desired_options
make test

I tried the patch on php-5.2.9 and it works just fine.
On php-5.3.0beta1 it fails with a different error:
 'error: Oracle Instant Client libraries not found'
I get same error on Linux, though I daresay it is a different issue. I am working on tracking it down.

Let us know how it goes.
