ID: 44989 Updated by: s...@php.net Reported by: stevec at engr dot oregonstate dot edu Summary: 64bit Oracle RPMs still not supported by pdo-oci Status: Closed Type: Bug Package: PDO related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.2.6 Assigned To: sixd Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Since this bug is closed and the discussion is getting platform specific, I suggest you open a new bug, attach the description, include which Instant Client bundle is being installed, and attach a verified patch. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-09-16 17:58:33] jbnance at tresgeek dot net Here's a better explanation of the lib64 stuff: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#LIB64 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-09-16 16:30:21] jbnance at tresgeek dot net Ah, yes, my mistake. I forgot that although it defines lib<qual> rules, it doesn't specify whether you use lib32 or lib64. So what I should have said is that practically every other distribution uses lib for 32-bit libraries and lib64 for 64-bit libraries. On 64-bit systems using those distros, /lib & /usr/lib still contains the 32-bit versions of the libraries you have installed (you can install the 64-bit without the 32-bit and vice versa). So, whatever modifications are done to the patch will need to take that into account. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-09-16 16:04:51] olemarkus at gentoo dot org How is that against FHS? IIRC it is even mentioned specifically in one of FHS' footnotes. Gentoo can be multilib, thus it has both /usr/lib32 and /usr/lib64, and /usr/lib as a symlink to /usr/lib64. Redhat and whatnot are probably not mutlilib, so they do not have this link (nor do all profiles on Gentoo). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-09-16 15:52:52] jbnance at tresgeek dot net Errr... That goes against the FHS. Red Hat / CentOS, Fedora, SuSE / OpenSUSE, and Ubuntu / Debian (as well as all the derivates I know of) all have separate lib and lib64 directories. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-09-16 09:52:16] olemarkus at gentoo dot org At least Gentoo has /usr/lib symlinked to /usr/lib64 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
