php5-oracle fails in Lion

[mattg@…]

When doing a port install php-oracle in Lion, it rebuilds apache with a broken version of Oci8. By disabling pdo-oci in oracle.ini apache will at least start, but any attempt to load a page with an oci_connect call on it will fail and yield a segmentation fault.

Can you explain more? What steps reproduce the problem? What do we need to do to fix it? I don't use oracle so if php5-oracle is broken in some way I'll need help from someone who uses oracle to fix it.

Note that installing php5-oracle will not rebuild apache as you say. It will of course install the php5 port if you haven't done so already, and that will select its +apache2 variant by default, which will install the apache2 port for you if you haven't done so already.

Can you provide further information please? Without more information I don't know what to do about this, or even exactly what the problem is.

Closed due to lack of information.

I am experiencing this same problem (Also on Lion 10.7.4). Starting with a working php 5.3 install using the php5 port:
