PHP Warning: ocilogon() ORA-12154

[esilrom]

Dear all,

I am running a Slackware 12.2 machine over x86 32 bits with Apache+PHP+Oracle Instant Client and I am experiencing problems with this specific OCI8 module.

According to phpinfo() and php --ri oci8 it is loaded, but unfortunately I do not know anything else to check, once I think I explored everything.

May anyone can help me on this stuff?

Cheers

The printable error from error_log is something like this below

Below you can find a specific part of my phpinfo() where is shown the loaded OCI8 module.
