• Status: VERIFIED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description grischa 2006-01-04 05:55:02 UTC]

Hi!
i did an php4 install using the new portage structure (dev-lang).

##### Settings START

## ADD to /etc/portage/package.keywords:
	# New PHP4/5 struct added
	dev-lang/php
	
	=dev-lang/php-4.4.1-r3 ~amd64
	=app-admin/php-toolkit-1.0

## ADD to /etc/portage/package.use

	# new php architecture:
	=dev-lang/php-4* -* cli cgi apache2 ctype gd java jpeg ming mysql pcre png session sharedmem truetype xml xml2 xsl zlib

## Remove php5 from being installed - /etc/portage/package.mask
	>=dev-lang/php-5

##### Settings END

## The emerge worked fine
emerge "=dev-lang/php-4*"

##  but when i wan't to use the php-toolkit to set the php cli version an error occurs:
php-select php php4

## !!produces:
"ln: when making multiple links, last argument must be a directory"

# looks like the symlink couldn't be created....there's no
# php -> /usr/lib64/php4/bin/php
# in /usr/bin

# so i added it my self and evrything worked fine....

ln -s /usr/lib64/php4/bin/php /usr/bin/php


Cheers,
Grischa

Hi, please add -x to the first line of /usr/sbin/php-select (so that it looks like #!/bin/bash -x), and report here the output you then get, -x enables debug of bash scripts. :)
Also, your emerge info would be intersting to know, thanks.
Best regards, CHTEKK.

I just added app-admin/php-toolkit-1.0-r1 to the tree, wich, at least for me, fixes the issue, thanks again for helping us track and debug this! :)
emerge sync in a couple of hours and emerge php-toolkit again, making sure it's the 1.0-r1 version, and your problem should be fixed.
Please report back to this bug if 1.0-r1 indeed fixed your problems or not, thanks!
Marking as test-request in the meantime.
Best regards, CHTEKK.

Thanks, this bug is history! Just emerged php-toolkit-1.0-r1 and then re-emerged dev-lang/php, because I was too lazy to use php-select. ;-)

it's working fine on my amd64 machine, i suggest to remove the package mask.
