Bug 124626 – Joomla insists on dev-lang/php (aka PHP5) being present

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Evert Meulie 2006-03-02 05:32:39 UTC]

emerge joomla gives the following error on my php4 system:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) www-apps/joomla-1.0.8 to /
>>> md5 files   ;-) joomla-1.0.8.ebuild
>>> md5 files   ;-) files/postinstall-en.txt
>>> md5 files   ;-) files/digest-joomla-1.0.8
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) joomla-1.0.8.tar.bz2

!!! ERROR: www-apps/joomla-1.0.8 failed.
!!! Function has_php, Line 233, Exitcode 1
!!! Unable to find an installed dev-lang/php package
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

AFAIK, there are no dev-lang/php-4* packages available. Joomla DOES support PHP4 however.
How to emerge joomla on a PHP4 system...?
