php5-oracle: shell command failed error

[jkorchok@…]

G4 Mac running Leopard 10.5.8, Macports 2.0.4 I have upgraded PHP5 to 5.3.10. When I try to install the Oracle extensions: sudo port install php5-oracle I get:

---> Configuring php5-oracle Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command failed (see log for details) Log for php5-oracle is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_php_php5-oracle/php5-oracle/main.log Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

The log reads:

while executing

"$procedure $targetname"

To me it looks like it's trying to find the PHP version where Perl version information is stored, but I have no expertise in this.
