As noted in this forum post: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-399310, apache depends on sysvipc, else it craps out with: [crit] (38)Function not implemented: mod_rewrite: could not create rewrite_log_lock Configuration Failed Most ebuilds that have kernel config dependencies seem to make the necessary checks. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. build a kernel without sysvipc 2. emerge apache 2 3. start apache 2 Actual Results: [crit] (38)Function not implemented: mod_rewrite: could not create rewrite_log_lock Configuration Failed Expected Results: Apache should start out of the box.
Nope; we are not going to make apache depend on kernel sources.
OK. Would you at least consider putting a line of text in the postinsall telling the installer the be sure this is configured?
honestly, if you don't compile sysvipc into you're kernel, you're pretty much on your own... but i will add a message to the next ebuild revision ...
fixed in 2.2.6-r4 (still masked though)
