Fred,

You might need to do a make clean and then build again.  In particular, it
is key that that gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/generic/ogrregisterall.cpp be compiled
"knowing" about the OCI driver.  The Oracle stuff was pretty new in 1.1.9
and there have been a number of fixes since then, as well as improvements in
the configuration mechanism.

Why do you think you need GDAL 1.1.9 for use with MapServer?  MapServer should
work fine with GDAL 1.2.0 and if not I would like to fix it.

Best regards,
