[gentoo-user] Portage complaining when trying to install PHPMyAdmin

[Shawn Singh]

Hey All,

I was trying to install PHP and a couple other packages when I got the following error:

 * Checking for required PHP feature(s) ...
 *   Discovered missing USE flag: unicode
 *
 * dev-lang/php-5.1.4-r6 needs to be re-installed with all of the following
 * USE flags enabled:
 *
 * pcre session unicode
 *
 * as well as any of the following USE flags enabled:
 *
 * mysql or mysqli if using dev-lang/php-5
 * mysql if using dev-lang/php-4
 *

!!! ERROR: dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.8.2 failed.
Call stack:
  ebuild.sh, line 1555:   Called dyn_setup
  ebuild.sh, line 668:   Called pkg_setup
  phpmyadmin-2.8.2.ebuild, line 37:   Called die

!!! Re-install dev-lang/php-5.1.4-r6
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.

I checked /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc and see that unicode is listed, and the other flags
( pcre session mysql and mysqli ), what's causing this?

Thanks,

Shawn
