Description skolima 2006-10-14 03:51:32 UTC 
Mono Oracle client (System.Data.OracleClient) requires OCI binaries to work. Thus I suggest adding an 'oracle' USE flag to the dev-lang/mono ebuild, which would pull in dev-db/oracle-instantclient-basic as a dependency (for libclntsh.so).
Comment 1 Peter Alfredsen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-01-29 16:02:27 UTC 
+  29 Jan 2009; Peter Alfredsen <loki_val@gentoo.org> mono-2.2-r3.ebuild:
+  Add postinst message pointing to the additional packages that must be
+  installed to support all mono namespaces w.r.t. bug 151315 and bug 256506.
+  Further investigation has revealed that the gluezilla package is not a
+  build-time dependency. The same is true for the Oracle instantclient. The
+  mono dlls for these will be built regardless, one only has to install the
+  packages to get support for them.
+

I'm sorry, but we can't add a useflag. The mono dlls are built regardless, so if one changed useflags and performed emerge -uDNav world, mono would be rebuilt with no good reason.
