I do not believe that is needed. I just did it two days ago. You only need the header files. I threw them in
/usr/src/local/php-4.0.0/ext/oci8/ from the server I believe it was $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo. Though unless they are in the path, you have to change all the brackets from the #INCLUDEs in the header files to quotes.
