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

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

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".

thanks Richard. I added unicode to USE, re-emerged PHP and Apache, then was
able to emerge PHPMyAdmin and MediaWiki.
