[gentoo-user] Problem installing PHP pdo

[gentoo-user] Problem installing PHP pdo

Hi all,

I'm not a PHP programmer, so I'm a bit out of my water.  But, I'm trying to
install the latest eGroupware and need to get PHP to support pdo database
connectivigy.

After a recent emerge --sync, I did a new emerge of php with --newuse...
after adding pdo to my tags list.

What I get is:

...running: make
/bin/sh /root/tmp/pear/temp/pear-build-rootFqdFar/PDO-1.0.3/libtool
--mode=compile cc  -I. -I/root/tmp/pear/temp/PDO -DPHP_ATOM_INC

Which GCC version? Did you do any GCC updates/etc?

Can you give us the usual bug report stuff?

  * emerge --info
  * emerge -pv <package name>
  * The command that you ran which failed
  * The full output of that command
  * Anything else you think might be relevant

I did an emerge -s for pdo and didn't find anything so I followed the
directions given on the eGroupware installation guide and ran:

pecl install pdo

Is there an ebuild that I should/could use instead?

Yep, it's a USE flag for dev-lang/php. In /etc/portage/package.use, you
can add,

  dev-lang/php ... pdo ...

where the ellipses represent any other USE flags you may have set. The
re-emerge php with,

  emerge -1 dev-lang/php

and it should work, although you may need to restart your web server first.

Digression: personally, I don't like Gentoo's webapp framework and I
don't use the ebuilds for any of the web applications that we run. But,
egroupware is in portage, as www-apps/egroupware.

This may make your life easier if you're familiar with webapps under
Gentoo: you can just emerge it, and it will make sure all of the
dependencies are satisfied.

If you *don't* want to go the webapp route, it still makes your life
easier, since somebody already went to the trouble of figuring out the
right dependencies. From the ebuild,

  RDEPEND="jpgraph? ( dev-php/jpgraph )
           dev-php/pear
           dev-php/PEAR-Auth_SASL
           virtual/httpd-php
           dev-lang/php[gd,imap,pdo,posix,session,sqlite,ssl,
                     unicode,xml,zip,zlib,ldap?,mysql?,postgres?]
           virtual/cron"

You should make sure you have each of these installed for eGroupware to
work. The stuff in square brackets [] are USE flags, in this case for
dev-lang/php.

Since I already mentioned that I don't use the webapp framework, what I
usually do in a case like this (where something's in portage but I don't
want to use it) is create my own ebuild just for the dependencies. So
basically, I would create an ebuild called egroupware-dependencies in an
overlay, and copy (R)DEPEND from the egroupware ebuild. The rest of the
ebuild would do nothing.

Then I emerge it, and it gets added to @world. This prevents someone
from later removing e.g. dev-php/PEAR-Auth_SASL because they don't know
what it's for. (That person would be me in, say, a year.)

Re: [gentoo-user] Problem installing PHP pdo

[Mike Diehl]

Forgive the top-posting, but I think my response will be more concise this
way.

I have pdo in my USE flag in /etc/make.conf, so I thought I had this
covered.

I'm also not a fan of the netapps mechanism because I put my web-space in a
nonstandard location for ease of backing up.  Also, I probably just don't
understand it as well as I'd like.  <wink>

So, I could emerge egroupware and let emerge handle the dependencies for me.
 then I cold just emerge -C and re-install just the application by hand. 
Sound right?

Thanks for such a detailed reply.

Mike.

Does it show up in emerge --info? If not, you might have a typo. If so,
it's probably some other missing dependency. (Have you re-emerged PHP
since the USE change?)

Nah, it's inflexible.

This will get the dependencies, but once you uninstall egroupware,
portage won't know why you have them. So if you do an emerge --depclean
later, they'll come up for removal. Eventually you'll forget why you had
them, and let it remove something important (personal experience).

That's why I go to all that trouble with the ebuild in an overlay. A
simpler workaround would be to install the egroupware from portage, and
then ignore it but leave it installed.

Sounds like I just need to emerge egroupware.

Per your advise, I tried:
emerge --info | grep -i pdo

I did get my USE flag as output, and it looked sane.

Thanks for your help; I'll let you know.

Mike.
