Description Tom von Schwerdtner 2002-07-14 15:26:28 UTC

AFAIK, it should work (except for the fact that there is no /usr/bin/php)

Error:

bash: /usr/bin/pear: /usr/bin/php: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Comment 1 Tom von Schwerdtner 2002-07-14 15:43:35 UTC

mhm, okay, should have done more research....

/usr/bin/php is created when php is compiled as CGI (and maybe with CLI?).

Pity, 'pear' seems useful.

Look into dev-php/php

Try "emerge dev-php/php", although you'll have to unmask it first.
I believe that dev-php/php is the cli/cgi version, and dev-php/mod_php
is the apache mod.  Bouncing to rphillips@gentoo.org for confirmation.

 Grant has it exactly right.
