- please note two things:

1. OSX is whiny about changing big boy files, so you’ll have to save with :w! in vi before you can :q out of there. I like putting stuff here I want across users, although the other good (better, safer) way to do it is to pick who accesses the file and just change their ~/.profile files by adding the above. Forcing yourself to login as root to do some web or dev DB stuff ain’t a good plan.

2. bash (at least my current OSX version) doesn’t like the double quotes around the roughly exact same thing Danilo had written earlier, I just took them out. I was getting that crappy “dylb: Library not loaded: /scratch..” error until I changed that.

Thanks for the scripts, Danilo. Saved me some time and headache getting this tweaky Mac version hooked up.

Please help if you can.

“PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/oci8.so’ – (null) in Unknown on line 0″.

When I echo $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH as user root it displays no set value. It works just fine when I change to user “admin” at the bash command shell.

If I run a script with a line that reads “phpinfo()” and execute it via the command line as root, the OCI extension is listed as loaded. Furthermore I can execute Oracle function calls from php scripts so long as the scripts are called from the command line.

When I instead call a webpage with phpinfo() the OCI8 extension is not listed as loaded.

Lastly when apache2 starts, php throws an error message to its log file which says “PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/oci8.so’ – (null) in Unknown on line 0″

Do I have a problem with variables not being persistent after reboot or being set across multiple users accounts? Perhaps when Apache is running it can’t talk to the instant client.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

# cd
# ./TNSconnectMac.sh

then make sure that the information you are typing are right :P

I also ended up having to put the instantclient libraries into /usr/lib and /scratch/plebld/208/rdbms/lib, then creating symbolic links to libclntsh.dylib.10.1.
