I had the same problem and was quite annoyed for several weeks. I started ripping out PEAR packages and then I noticed in a -tree view that I had "horde" installed. I unmerged that and then all the PEAR packages didn't need to be unmerged anymore. So, I guess my suggestion is to look in the emerge world list and see if there is anything in there that uses PHP. If so, try to unmerge that package first, then you can re-emerge it when you get PHP 5 installed. Kinda lame if you ask me. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
