Oke, I will give the answer myself.. I read on the PHP3 newsgroup a
message about Oracle8, Linux and PHP. Some fiddling with libraries gave
the following successfull result:

the oraclemodule part of the Makefile in the oracledb package:

oracledbmodule$(SO):  oradbmodule.o dbi.o; $(LDSHARED)  oradbmodule.o dbi.o  -L/homeb/oracle/lib/ -L/homeb/oracle/rdbms/lib /homeb/oracle/lib/scorept.o -L/homeb/oracle/rdbms/public -lnetv2 -lnttcp -lnetwork -lncr -lvsn -lcommon -lgeneric -lcore4 -lnlsrtl3 -lepc -lsql -lclient -lclntsh -ldl -o oracledbmodule$(SO)

The linking of the libraries differs of the results found by the auto-generate
script...
