Bug 57074 – mod_php-5.0.0 doesn't compile because of "spell"

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stefan Walkner 2004-07-14 14:59:12 UTC]

I don't know if it is a real bug, but if I compile this ebuild with:
USE="-gdbm -gd-external gd" emerge /usr/portage/dev-php/mod_php/mod_php-5.0.0.ebuild
//this -gd-external I found in another bugreport
then I get following error:
<---snip--->

checking for PSPELL support... yes
configure: error: Cannot find pspell

!!! ERROR: dev-php/mod_php-5.0.0 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 362, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed

so (neech gave me this hint) I emerged with:
USE="-spell -gd-external gd" emerge /usr/portage/dev-php/mod_php/mod_php-5.0.0.ebuild
and it worked....

another thing at this point: 
do you think, that it is useful, that "session" is off by default? 
USE="session..."

and I also had to move /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so to /usr/lib/apache2/extramodules/libphp5.so -> as written in /etc/apache2/conf/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="-gdbm -gd-external gd" emerge /usr/portage/dev-php/mod_php/mod_php-5.0.0.ebuild
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
when compiling with USE="-spell ...." it worked correctly -> exept moving the
libphp5.so as described above

Expected Results:  
hmmm why does php5 need spell?
use.desc:
spell 	Adds dictionary support

it's my first bug report....

This should now be fixed in Portage.  Please resync, and them re-merge mod_php-5.0.0.

Best regards,
