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?
Well use.desc is just a description of USE flags, not the flags that
you actually have turned on. You should read:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=2
But basically what you need to do is either:
- update /etc/make.conf to add unicode to USE
- add "dev-lang/php unicode" to /etc/portage/package.use
I actuall recommend the first, as unicode seems to be one of those
things that should be enabled globally.
If you have further trouble with this, post the outputs of "emerge
--info" and "emerge -pv dev-lang/php".
