Bugzilla Bug 86685

Versions of PHP prior to 4.3.10, had an include_path of /usr/lib/php.  In
version 4.3.10, this has changed to /usr/lib/php/php. However, php.ini is not
updated when th package is upgraded, thus any includes, such as DB, are not
found until include_path is changed.

the last change in php-sapi.eclass (multilib fix) broke PEAR installation,
because
php itself appends "php" to whatever --libdir is set to:

with myconf="${myconf} --libdir=/usr/${libdir}/php" removed:
>>> Install php-4.3.10 into /var/tmp/portage/php-4.3.10/image/ category dev-php
Installing PHP CLI binary:        /var/tmp/portage/php-4.3.10/image//usr/bin/
Installing PHP CLI man page:     
/var/tmp/portage/php-4.3.10/image//usr/share/man/man1/

with myconf=... line:

Let´s track this in one bug. ;-)

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 88763 ***

since when is an older bug with an attached solution to a general php problem a
duplicate of a newer bug that is about pear stuff only?

Please read the solution provided in #88763.

Hello,

I tried web-cyradm and it will not work until I have installed PEAR-PEAR PEAR-DB.

But the main thing was to set in the php.ini:

cat /etc/apache2/php.ini | grep php/php
include_path = ".:/usr/lib/php/php"

Then all work fine even such things like lx-office e.g.

Regards Roland

This one has _not_ been fixed. I still had the issue when emerge a few PEAR
packages today that ended up in the /usr/lib/php/php directory. The only real
fix for this that I found is to remove myconf="${myconf}
--libdir=/usr/${libdir}/php"   from the php-sapi.eclass file.

Stephane,
I re-emerged everything in /usr/lib/php/php (epm -qf /usr/lib/php/php to get the
package list) and the problem went away for me.
