Bug 90205 – adodb fails to emerge with message :ADODB requires some form of SQL OR ODBC support in your PHP

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description david jenkins 2005-04-24 01:08:57 UTC]

This is a wierd one. I had installed adodb 4.55. I need psotgresql8 support so I unmerged 4.55 and tried emerging 4.62. The merge failed with the message ADODB requires some form of SQL or ODBC support in your PHP. I tried to emerge 4.55 again and I got the same message. Every time I try to emerge it I continue to get the same message

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge adodb (version 4.55)
2.emerge --unmerge adodb
3.emerge adodb (version 4.62)

Actual Results:  
continue to get message about needing sql support in PHP

This is not a bug, this is a warning that adodb is useless without SQL or ODBC support compiled in PHP. Moreover, it is only a warning and it installs normally, so I can

actually, this should be closed. It is a symptom of a greater problem. All of a sudden nothing emerges. after the dependencies are calculated and the md5 src_uri stuff, emerge simply quits. Any ideas how I can resolve this issue or how I should troubleshoot it?

Not unless you provide needed information. Did you upgrade to portage-2.0.51.20-r?. Anyway, open a new bug and post `emerge --info` output and all other relevant information.
