I tried to update (re-emerge) PHP-4.3.10, my USE flag is as followed: "-X gd" (because I want GD support, but I donßt have an X-System).

It seems that "emerge" is checking for libaries, one of them is libXpm, but this is not installed on my system because I dont have an X-System, I am also unable to emerge this lib.

The following error occurs when I emerge PHP:
configure: error: libXpm.(a|so) not found.

!!! Please attach the config.log to your bug report:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/php-4.3.10/work/php-4.3.10/config.log

!!! ERROR: dev-php/php-4.3.10 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 485, Exitcode 0
!!! econf failed

And the last entry in "/var/tmp/portage/php-4.3.10/work/php-4.3.10/config.log" is:

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup a server with default settings
2. No X-System
3. USE-Flags: "-X gd"
3. Emerge php

Actual Results:  
Emerge exits with errors.

Expected Results:  
Clean PHP re-emerge with GD support and without X11

[Comment 2 Stefan Oderbolz 2005-03-21 15:07:07 UTC]

For some reason there was really an X-Server on my system. I still don't know why, but there was one. I got that because I wanted to update my system and saw that he wants to update xorg-x11. I unemerged the x11 server and made an explicit "-X" in my /etc/make.conf (USE-Flags).

Now I could emerge php with everything I wanted. 

Thanks for reading, sorry for opening that bug...
