If I try to emerge php, I get the following error: checking for Java support... find: /include: No such file or directory no configure: error: unable to find Java VM libraries !!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully. !!! Function src_compile, Line 78, Exitcode 1 !!! bad ./configure !!! emerge aborting on /usr/portage/dev-lang/php/php-4.1.2-r7.ebuild .
Please go to www.gentoo.org and look for the java HOWTO there.
Why do I need Java to install PHP? And why isn't it automatically installed as a dependency? I don't want to install a proprietary java-software, it must be possible to install PHP without it.
