Bug 96109 – pear-mdb-1.3.0 fails to emerge

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Matt M 2005-06-14 11:49:31 UTC]

Here is the straight output from emerge: 

hydra ~ # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~sparc" emerge -v ">PEAR-MDB-1.2"

dev-php
/usr/bin/php: error while loading shared libraries: libhistory.so.4: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

Troublesome things are that error message from tar, but that php can't find that
library. I do have libhistory.so.5 on my system, but haven't yet tested if I can
work around this by symlinking libhistory.so.4 to it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~sparc" emerge -v ">PEAR-MDB-1.2"
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
PEAR-MDB fails to emerge because of an error thrown by /usr/bin/php about not
being able to find libhistory.so.4

Expected Results:  
Correctly emerge PEAR-MDB.

Symlinking libhistory.so.5.0 -> libhistory.so.4 fixes this and allows the emerge
to continue, apparently successfully. Bit hackish, though. :(

You should run revdep-rebuild after upgrading readline - as the ebuild
instructed you.
