PHP can be compiled with the Berkeley DB4 extensions, but not the DB2 extensions. When using the DB2 USE flag, IBM DB2 support is compiled in, not the Berkeley DB2 extensions. There is no way to include version 2 or even version 3 of the Berkeley DB installed. Just version 4. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge PHP with db2,dba USE flag Actual Results: Emerge works as it should have, IBM DB2 support is requested, db4 is installed Expected Results: Berkeley DB2 should have been installed instead of the IBM DB2. PHP's ./configure --with-db2[=DIR] DBA: Include Berkeley DB2 support DB-2.7.7 does work on the system when compiled outside of the portage tree manually --with-ibm-db2[=DIR] Include IBM DB2 support.
