[NTLUG:Discuss] x86_64 and oracle question

[Jack Snodgrass]

I'm sort of stuck. Can anyone tell me what my options are? Here 
is the deal... 

I have a i686 system with oracle 8i libs. It has php compiled with
the --with-oci8 switch. This links in the oracle libs so I can do 
oracle queries via php. 

Now, I have a new x86_64 system that I want to use instead....
I can re-compile apache and php to use x86_64, but I'm stuck with 
the i386/i686 oracle libs..... php won't link with these i386/x686
oralce libs. 

What are my options? I think that there are x86_64 Oracle 9/10 
libs, but I don't have those....

Is there a way to a) force the oralcle libs I have to link and 
b) will they work or do I have to find x86_64 oracle libs or what? 

Also... I just need the 'client' libs I think.... if I need to 
get x86_64 libs... what's the best way to get the minimal libs/files
I need. I don't want to have to download a full 600Meg CD if all 
I need are 10 meg in files.... 

Thanks - jack
