Before I emerge MySQL5. But later, I became necessary to use MySQL3/4 I successfully emerge it. But at try restart apache, it speaks: Apache2 has detected a syntax error in your configuration files: /usr/sbin/apache2: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient_r.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I have tried re-emerge apache, and it isn`t compile. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge --sync 2. echo ">dev-db/mysql-5" >>/etc/portage/package.mask 3. emerge mysql 3. emerge apache Actual Results: /usr/bin/libtool --silent --mode=link i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -pthread -O2 -march=i686 -pipe -Wl,--no-as-needed -L/usr/lib -rdynamic -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r -lz -lpthread -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lssl -lcrypto -Wl,--no-as-needed -o mod_userdir.la -rpath /usr/lib/apache2/modules -module -avoid-version mod_userdir.lo /usr/bin/libtool --silent --mode=link i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -pthread -O2 -march=i686 -pipe -Wl,--no-as-needed -L/usr/lib -rdynamic -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r -lz -lpthread -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lssl -lcrypto -Wl,--no-as-needed -o mod_alias.la -rpath /usr/lib/apache2/modules -module -avoid-version mod_alias.lo /usr/bin/libtool --silent --mode=link i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -pthread -O2 -march=i686 -pipe -Wl,--no-as-needed -L/usr/lib -rdynamic -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r -lz -lpthread -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lssl -lcrypto -Wl,--no-as-needed -o mod_rewrite.la -rpath /usr/lib/apache2/modules -module -avoid-version mod_rewrite.lo make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/www-servers/apache-2.2.8-r3/work/httpd-2.2.8/modules/mappers' make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/www-servers/apache-2.2.8-r3/work/httpd-2.2.8/modules/mappers' make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/www-servers/apache-2.2.8-r3/work/httpd-2.2.8/modules' make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/www-servers/apache-2.2.8-r3/work/httpd-2.2.8/support' make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/www-servers/apache-2.2.8-r3/work/httpd-2.2.8/support' make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/www-servers/apache-2.2.8-r3/work/httpd-2.2.8' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 * * ERROR: www-servers/apache-2.2.8-r3 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile * environment, line 3495: Called apache-2_src_compile * environment, line 420: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * emake || die "emake failed" * The die message: * emake failed * * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. * A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/www-servers/apache-2.2.8-r3/temp/build.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/www-servers/apache-2.2.8-r3/temp/environment'.

you need to remerge apr-util and apache after downgrading, or simply running revdep-rebuild should do it as well
