Hi all …

Danilo, first of all thank you for the great post and the scripts.

I did everything you said, and when I try to execute the sqlplus command to check connectivity with Oracle I receive the following message:

dyld: Library not loaded: /b/227/sqlplus/lib/libsqlplus.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/bin/sqlplus
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap

if I echo both $ORACLE_HOME and $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH I get ”/opt/oracle/instantclient_10_2″

¿Any idea?

Thank you very much in advance.

Just a quick note: Double check you switched to root with `sudo su -` as opposed to `sudo bash` before you ran Danilo’s script. Many of the issues people have been having appear related to unix account environmentals and this will make sure the `root` user has the appropriate settings, not the regular mac account.

Good luck!

Hi Neto,
I would suggest first to uninstall the current PHP version you have installed and then to execute the script I wrote.
I didn’t try by my self to uninstall PHP but I have found this instruction
http://juliusdavies.ca/how_to_uninstall_php_from_mac.html
Maybe you can try and let us know if it works!
Bye

Hi Danilo. First I would like congratulations for this post and script!! it’s amazing!! I have a little problem with Snow Server (10.6.6). He comes with php 5.3.3 by default. I run your script with php 5.2.6 normaly installing all features including oci8. But he keeping the php 5.3.3. I would like know if in your script have a way to uninstall the php 5.3.3 for install 5.2.6 or replace 5.3.3. Thank you.

there is much easier and better way:
http://musarra.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/macosx_snow_leopard_php5-3_oci8_1-0_en.pdf

it uses pecl to install OCI8 module for PHP, no need for rebuilding PHP and Apache. Native Leopard’s Apache and PHP will work like a charm.

Greetings!

I’m having some problems with your script… I have snow leopard, and tried the script more than 10 times now, and it never worked…. I had installed MAMP, but then I realize that MAMP is unnecessary in snow leopard.

I tried with the original and it didn’t work for me. I’ve been editing the script according to the comments i read, and it still doesn’t work. As Simao, I get nothing with phpinfo() and the test.php. I’ve been trying to spot errors within the installation, and I spotted this one the last time I tried:

libs/libphp5.bundle && cp libs/libphp5.bundle libs/libphp5.so
i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1: =: No such file or directory
make: *** [libs/libphp5.bundle] Error 1

In the end, I get:

Build complete.
Don’t forget to run ‘make test’.

Installing shared extensions: /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/

Until now, I made these changes in the script:

1) Replace this line:

#cat makefile | sed ’s/CFLAGS_CLEAN = /CFLAGS_CLEAN = -I\/usr\/include -arch ppc -arch i386 -isysroot \/Developer\/SDKs\/MacOSX10.5.sdk \#CFLAGS_CLEAN = /’ > makefile1.tmp

by this one:

cat makefile | sed ’s/CFLAGS_CLEAN = /CFLAGS_CLEAN = -I\/usr\/include -arch i386 -isysroot \/Developer\/SDKs\/MacOSX10.5.sdk \#CFLAGS_CLEAN = /’ > makefile1.tmp

2) Replace this line:

cat makefile1.tmp | sed ’s/EXTRA_LDFLAGS = /EXTRA_LDFLAGS = -arch ppc -arch i386 -isysroot \/Developer\/SDKs\/MacOSX10.5.sdk -Wl,-syslibroot,\/Developer\/SDKs\/MacOSX10.5.sdk \#EXTRA_LDFLAGS = /’ > makefile2.tmp

by this one:

cat makefile1.tmp | sed ’s/EXTRA_LDFLAGS = /EXTRA_LDFLAGS = -arch i386 -isysroot \/Developer\/SDKs\/MacOSX10.5.sdk -Wl,-syslibroot,\/Developer\/SDKs\/MacOSX10.5.sdk -L\/opt\/oracle\/instantclient_10_2 = /’ > makefile2.tmp

3) Replace this line:

phpize

by this one:

/usr/bin/phpize

4) I also edited httpd.conf adding these lines:

# Turned on env_module to set Oracle stuff here.
#

SetEnv ORACLE_HOME /opt/oracle/instantclient_10_2
SetEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/oracle/instantclient_10_2
SetEnv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/oracle/instantclient_10_2
SetEnv TNS_ADMIN /opt/oracle/tns

Hi Simao,
please execute this command:

# echo $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH; echo $ORACLE_HOME

What is the output?

dyld: Library not loaded: /b/227/sqlplus/lib/libsqlplus.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/bin/sqlplus

Any help on that?
