Bug 131616 – XML disabled when emerging dev-lang/php-4.4.2 with USE="xml"

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

[Description Jan Van Uytven 2006-04-28 14:57:34 UTC]

I'm trying to get php-4.4.2 installed so I can get an older version of horde working.  It works for the most part, but when loading horde I get the error: 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: utf8_decode() in /usr/share/webapps/horde/3.1.1/htdocs/lib/Horde/String.php on line 325

Digging deeper, it seems this happens becuase PHP is not compiled with xml enabled, and a call to phpinfo() confirms this with '--disable-xml' listed in the configure flags for PHP.

Checking over the emerge sequence, the xml flag is clearly turned on:

firebird php # USE="xml" emerge -pv =dev-lang/php-4.4.2

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Is there a way I can temporarily enable xml in the configuration while this gets sorted out?

Here's my emerge info.

You need USE=expat; USE=xml enables dom xml extension.

Tried USE="-xml expat" - works now.  This seems non-intuitive though,perhaps a note could be added to the php post-install notes? and Thanks for your help. :)

I totally agree with you.
