When I try to emerge mod_php-4.3.4-r2, during configure phase first I get error that gettext isn't installed (but it is). With USE="-nls" I get past that, but then configure claims that libiconv should be installed. Iconv is included in glibc. When I go in /var/tmp/portage/mod-php4.3.4/work/php-4.3.4 directory and run configure manually, everything seems OK. I've tried to reduce my USE variable in /etc/make.conf to just "-X -nls", but to no success. Here is verbose output of USE="-nls" emerge -pv mod_php USE="-nls" emerge -pv mod_php These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

attach your config.log php is a major PITA in reporting the wrong problems sometimes.
Created attachment 24285 [details] Config.log file when trying to emerge mod_php command was: USE="-nls informix" emerge -v mod_php
your system is badly inconsitant. firstly you need to run revdep-rebuild to rebuild things since you upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.7 (please remember to read the postinst messages, they are important sometimes...). Next of all, why the hell do you have a /usr/local/lib/libpthread.so.0 ? if you need it for something, it MUST be linked against the same major version of glibc as you are using (it's linked against 2.0 at the moment)
revdep-rebuild solved the problem. Thanks a lot!! PS. libpthread in /usr/local/lib is from Informix installation.
even if it's from informix, you'll need to have the stuff linked against the same version of glibc as you are using otherwise you may suffer some strange crashes later on.
