I have installed: * media-libs/libswf Latest version available: 0.99 Latest version installed: 0.99 Size of downloaded files: 567 kB * media-libs/ming Latest version available: 0.2a-r1 Latest version installed: 0.2a-r1 Size of downloaded files: 309 kB
I've got the same problem. A similar thing is happening with <a href="http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2707">PHP 4.2.0</a>. I'm going to investigate their solution.
The solution those guys had was evidently making the ebuild for 0.2a... only it's installed. I synced right before I tried to emerge (I guess that was april 8th) and although I have ming-0.2a (I don't remember if it's r1 or not but I do know that I don't have that package unmasked) php can't detect. Any sort of temporary patch would be cool. I'd like to get php emerged so I can continue on to emerging kde and completing my system, or at least getting to the point of not as many new things emerged every day.
easy fix is to mask the ming-0.2-r1 then rebuild

The -r1 has nothing to do with how the ming library calls itself, PHP is able to find it. Your config.log shows that the problem is not that it can't find the library but that it can't find some expected functions in it: /usr/lib/libming.so: undefined reference to `swf5parse' /usr/lib/libming.so: undefined reference to `swf5lval' Rebuild libswf and ming, run revdep-rebuild generally and use saner CFLAGS, -O3 can cause problems in some situations. I tried building PHP with ming-0.2a-r1 and it worked, at least the one from the overlay (link: http://svn.gnqs.org/projects/gentoo-php-overlay/ ), if you still encounter problems please try the overlay. Thanks, CHTEKK.
Closing.
We actually managed to reproduce the bug by chance on one of the boxes and managed to track it down. You can't install both libswf and ming, if you do, PHP will die complaining that ming is not the correct version. ming does not need libswf as dependency and ming is the new, correct way to support Flash stuff in both PHP4 and PHP5, _not_ libswf. The PHP Overlay was fixed in this regard, it requires you to uninstall libswf and then you can use ming without problems. To fix mod_php5 compile issues you're getting now, just unmerge both libswf and ming and then reemerge only ming, that will fix it. Be careful though, "flash" USE flag in mod_php4 still neds libswf, so you can't use both atm with the Portage ebuilds, with the PHP Overlay ebuilds you can, they all use ming! Best regards, CHTEKK.
Reopening to mark this bug FIXED.
FIXED, closing again.
