When I try to emerge php with the USE flag flash, due to dependancy, it emerge libswf which is a binary ebuild (compiled for x86 I think but it's not said anywhere on their website nor package), and after that when emergeging php (or mod_php), I've got a linking error. libswf should probably be removed from sparc architecture. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE="flash" emerge php or USE="flash" emerge mod_php 2. 3.

Wouldn't it be better to break the steps up a bit, and use dobin, dohtml, etc? And to depmod afterwards? I don't know. Maybe the simple way is fine? I'm attaching my ebuild anyway, which I wrote before I checked whether somebody else had written one (doh). Mine also depends on virtual/linux-sources, and doesn't demand a later version of ssh, by the way.
Good lord. That was typed in the wrong window. Most humble apologies, I attached to the wrong bug-report. I'm an idiot.
I just tested this for php-4.3.2 and mod_php-4.3.2 and didn't have any problems. Is this still a problem for you?

Hi James, Your problem is unrelated to this bug. Please reference bug #22969. Thanks, Weeve
Hi Weeve, I have just retried today and I still have the same problem on my ultra5 using the same version as you (both php and mod_php)
Hey Chris, Researched this a little more. It turns out in my initial testing I had omitted the flash USE flag, so that's why my testing didn't fail. What has happened is that libswf is a binary archive that was compiled for an architecture other than sparc. Unfortunately since this is the only way it's distributed, there's not much to be done about it. However I understand that ming has a good ability to work with flash files, and is already a php/mod_php dependency if the flash USE flag is set. What's been done to remedy the problem is only let x86 use libswf for php/mod_php when the flash USE flag is set. Once you sync your portage tree you should be able to build php without a problem. libswf has also been keyworded -sparc (means it won't build on sparc and comes up masked), so you can remove it if you want. It doesn't seem to effect php building either way.
Marking this case as resolved:fixed as changes have been made to fix this problem and no one has reported having problems since. If you have continued problems, feel free to re-open
