It has taken quite a few hours to piece together how to install PDO_OCI for PHP in OpenSUSE. I have compiled a small how-to if anyone else has a need for this. Enjoy
Since this original post, I have done this same setup on a x64 bit system. There are a few tweaks…
Download and install the x86_64 versions of the Oracle instantclient:
oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-1.x86_64.rpm
oracle-instantclient-devel-10.2.0.3-1.x86_64.rpm
./configure is going to want to use …/10.2.0.3/client. The 64-bit version of the instantclient uses …/10.2.0.3/client64. Before running ./configure, run these two commands:
Hello, Guys!
I followed your procedure and installed pdo_oci on a 32 bit opensuse 12.1. php -v, php -m all ok. I can see pdo_oci. But when I created a index.php which is phpinfo(), I cannot find oci enabled. All mysql, sqlite and pgsql, odbc are there. Just missing pdo_oci. I do have a pdo_oci.ini in /etc/php5/conf.d/, I do not know why.
Download and install the x86_64 versions of the Oracle instantclient:
oracle-instantclient11.2-basic-11.2.0.3.0-1.x86_64.rpm
oracle-instantclient11.2-devel-11.2.0.3.0-1.x86_64.rpm
./configure is going to want to use …/11.2/client. The 64-bit version of the instantclient uses …/11.2/client64. Before running ./configure, run these two commands:
ln -nsf /usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64 /usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client
ln -nsf /usr/include/oracle/11.2/client64 /usr/include/oracle/11.2/client64
When you created the symlink to …/client64/lib/libnnz11.so, put the symlink in lib64:
ln -s /usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib/libnnz11.so /usr/lib64/libnnz11.so
./configure --with-php-config=php-config --with-pdo-oci=instantclient,/usr,11.2
