Ebuilds for firebird doesn't provide necessary symlink to /opt/firebird named libgds.so It is necessary to manual create symlink like "ln -s libfbclient.so libgds.so" in "/opt/firebird/lib" directory. It is impossible to emerge php with firebird support without this symlink Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. myconf="--with-interbase=/opt/firebird" emerge php 2. 3. Actual Results: checking for InterBase support... yes checking for isc_detach_database in -lgds... no checking for isc_detach_database in -lib_util... no configure: error: libgds or libib_util not found! Check config.log for more information. !!! Please attach the config.log to your bug report: !!! /var/tmp/portage/php-4.3.11/work/php-4.3.11/config.log !!! ERROR: dev-php/php-4.3.11 failed. !!! Function econf, Line 485, Exitcode 0 !!! econf failed !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. Expected Results: checking for InterBase support... yes checking for isc_detach_database in -lgds... yes checking for IRCG support... no checking for Java support... no checking for LDAP support... yes I have found this bug on an AMD64 (socket 939) system with 1 GB RAM, latest version of Gentoo 200.5
