I've just recompiled dev-lang/php-4.4.2-r2 after switching to the new php ebuild system but phpmyadmin stopped working with a [code] Fatal error: Call to undefined function: preg_match() in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/phpmyadmin/libraries/defines.lib.php on line 36 [/code] I've recompiled it with the "pcre" USE in make.conf and now dev-db/phpmyadmin works again. So I think that phpmyadmin needs that USE. But preg_match is used in every php program...
It does, re-emerge it and check for yourself.
