Troubles with ld

[dballester kernpharma com]

Hi:
     First of all, if this is not the rigth list to explain my problem
sorry, any indication to the correct list will be very appreciated.

     I have a box ( Dell Optiplex GX100 ) running RH72 with updates applied
via Ximian Red Carpet. In other side I have an IBM H70 running an Oracle
database. I've installed the Oracle 8.1.7 client in my linux box. This
installation made me to downgrade the binutils to the RH71 release to avoid
problems with the Oracle linking process. After that I upgraded again the
binutils to the correct version. My system is correctly configured and all
users can use the Oracle client tools ( sqlplus, oem, etc...) connecting
correctly to the DB.My idea is to get an Apache + php + Oracle client to
attack the DB. For this I installed the srpm from de RH72 Sources CDs (
apache and php ). All is fine with Apache. I can make an rpm -bb of the
apache spec, creating and installing the rpm correctly. Then i have touched
the php spec to change the line '--without-oci8' in the build section  to
-with-oci8=/path_to_oracle_home. After satisfy some dependencies ( mysql,
imap...) that I will not use ( but i prefer to install it than touch a lot
the php.spec file ) when I make an rpm -bb an error rises saying:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lclntsh

ld comes with the binutils, correct? Searching with google I can see some
people getting the same error, but not solution posted. I need some url,
doc or help to avoid this problem and install correctly the php to get up
and running the explained scenario.

Info:

GNU ld version 2.11.90.0.8 (with BFD 2.11.90.0.8)

RPM version 4.0.3


Thanks a lot for your time.
