hi
i am having a issue installing php-oci8. I am using a cesntos 5.5 OS

when i try installing php-oci8 i get this error
[root@web8 tmp]# rpm -ivh php-oci8-5.2.14-1.el5.remi.x86_64.rpm
warning: php-oci8-5.2.14-1.el5.remi.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 00f97f56
error: Failed dependencies:
php-common = 5.2.14-1.el5.remi is needed by php-oci8-5.2.14-1.el5.remi.x86_64

so then i checked whether i have php-common 5.2.14 installed it yielded this result

[root@web8 tmp]# rpm -qa php-common
php-common-5.2.14-jason.1

i dont understand why php-oci is not getting installed even though php-common is present.

Suggest : Use the remi.repo
http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterp...-release-5.rpm
> remi-release-5.rpm
And then do : # yum install php-oci8


And if everything fails :
As the yum dependency mechanism is only 99.9% reliable, this can be used:
rpm -Uvh --nodeps php-oci8-5.2.14-1.el5.remi.x86_64.rpm
.... Will only work, if you have a 64 Bits OS !


A comment :
"rpm -ivh" is for special occasions.
The standard install command, used by Yum and the Package Manager is
# rpm -Uvh
