Environment
Release : 17.3 or higher
Cause
64bit Oracle client module is needed for 17.3. Key concerns are the highlighted entries in the above configure.log excerpt.
Resolution
Install Oracle 64 bit client (Administrator Client is preferred) and use that location for the Oracle Home Path value in the pdm_configure screen
