Hello Daniel,

Yes you're right...

Silly question, but how can I force a 32bit installation during setup on 
64bit machine?

I tested a 32bit Suse 9.3 in VMWare on my development machine and php5 
compilation --with-oracle-instant-client worked like a charm. ONly 
little hassle but everything is documented.

As mentioned in my last answer to Hans I found a workaround but I'm not 
happy with it... And I will try to replace it as soon as poosible 
provided that I get the intended soultion to compile...

Or I have to wait until Oracle releases the instant client for Linux x86_64.

I installed XAMPP from Apachefriends instead of all the SuSE things and 
the oci8-Extension works with the oracle client installation. It is a 
cheap trick but for now I can't help myself in another way...

Thanks again for your help.

Bye

from NY (and I do not know if I could attend to your meeting any time) 
but I enjoyed the helpful and qualified answers much and I'm confident I 
can return something...
