Installing Oracle support for litespeed
 

I wanted to install litespeed with oracle support under my home directory on a solaris server. Thought I will share with the user community.

Assumptions
1. Oracle client is installed on the server with the following environments
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/export/home/rawlog/oracle/lib
ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/g01/software/rdbms/9.2.0.6

2. Downloaded and installed the instantclient. Note I unzipped instantclient-basic, instantclient-sdk and

instantclient-sqlplus under $HOME/oracle/
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tec...ent/index.html

3. under the $HOME/oracle/instantclient, create this soft link. Not sure why, but the installation was looking for this file.
ln -s libclntsh.so.10.1 libclntsh.so

4. Ensure you have GNU make, gnu m4, libxml2 and autoconf packages. The ones that come with solaris donot work. I spent too much time trying to figure this out.

5. litespeed is installed under $HOME/lsws
