By resolved I mean there were instructions on how to get PHP to emerge. That's a resolution.
The other thing you can do is emerge the Java SDK 1.4.1 from Sun. While I've not tried it (Java support for PHP just isn't important to me) it should work. emerge -u php DOES work out of the box on all 6 servers I have + my laptop. But then I have -java in the USE settings on all my machines. FWIW, this issue reared it's ugly head a few months ago also. A previous version of PHP failed if you didn't remove Java support. (presumably, unless you had the correct version of Java) It's the reason I have -java in my USE variables. =C= * Cal Evans * Stay Plugged Into Your Audience * http://www.christianperformer.com -----Original Message----- From: Magnus Lie Hetland [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 21, 2003 2:21 PM To: gentoo-user Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] PHP emerge error Cal Evans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > check the archives, this was solved earlier this week.
