ldd /usr/bin/php | grep pcre shows php is using libpcre.so.0 ... a check of php shows the pcre use flag has not been present since version 5.2.14.

Removing pcre from the required use flag on line 29 allowed the package to build; however, when run multiple php errors occur related depreciated and bad functions.

Unmasking pnp4nagios versions 0.6.4 or 0.6.5 will force a php version downgrade to version 5.2.14 at emerge.  

I don't know why pnp4nagios version 0.6.5-r1 was pulled in as part of an emerge --update without unmasking it.

I fail to reproduce this with 0.6.7, please test and report back.

[Comment 6 David Dewbre 2010-10-24 22:36:26 UTC]

Fresh install of pnp4nagios version 0.6.7 installs without complaint; however, attempting to access the pnp web interface results in a 404 looking for "graph" in the root of /usr/share/pnp.

This appears to be due to the default config assuming url rewriting is configured for apache.  Perhaps a post-install message can be added warning of this?

Please note that this test was run on gentoo x86_64 and I will test again on the x86 system this bug was filed on when I get to work on Monday.

Sounds like a plan.

Okies :)

Tested on x86 ... installed and working.  XML files under /var/nagios/perfdata also had to be removed as per the upgrade guide.

Marking this bug as closed.

Fixed in CVS.
