Hi,

I recently purchased a few AMD64 powered machines and loaded freeBSD (6.2-BETA2) on
them. I would like to use them as web servers, but the back-end database I'm trying 
to connect to is Oracle. There seems to be a problem here.

After installing :
instantclient-sqlplus-linuxAMD64-10.1.0.5.0-20060519.zip 
instantclient-basic-linuxAMD64-10.1.0.5.0-20060519.zip

I tried installing perl DBD::Oracle from ports, but it will not install. I also tried to
install it from CPAN, but it failed too many tests. I entertained the idea of re-writing 
everything in PHP, but I can't get that to install either.

using PHP5-oci8...

===>  Extracting for php5-oci8-5.2.0

===>  oracle8-client-0.1.1_1 is only for i386, and you are running amd64..
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/databases/oracle8-client.
*** Error code 1




Are there any work-arounds for getting DBD::Oracle working on AMD64?, PHP5-oci8? My
friend Google didn't leave me feeling very encouraged...

Please CC me as I am not on this list.



Additional info:
ELF ldconfig path: /lib /usr/lib /usr/lib/compat /usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/apache2 \
/usr/local/lib/mysql
32-bit compatibility ldconfig path: /usr/lib32



Thanks
