I have been doing testing on the new dev-lang/php ebuilds, and have found that dev-lang/php-4.4.0 (and possibly 5.0.4 - not tested yet) has a missing dep on >=dev-libs/xslt-1.0.3. This is on amd64, but should be valid for all archs I think. checking for libxml version... >= 2.4.14 checking for DOM XSLT support... /usr checking for DOM EXSLT support... /usr not found configure: error: Please reinstall the libxslt >= 1.0.3 distribution !!! ERROR: dev-lang/php-4.4.0 failed. !!! Function php4_4-sapi_src_compile, Line 509, Exitcode 1 !!! configure failed !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

Emerging libxslt fixes this configure error.
PHP5 does correctly depend on dev-libs/libxslt, PHP4 didn't in fact, if you enable "xml2" and "xsl" USE flags it needs dev-libs/libxslt, wich wasn't in any DEPEND. Thanks a lot for signaling this, it's now fixed in the PHP Overlay [1] and will enter Portage soon. Best regards, CHTEKK. [1] http://svn.gnqs.org/projects/gentoo-php-overlay/
