php-5.0.1 wont emerge - HELP!!! -

Ok, i've been trying to get php5 installed forever. I want the new xml features. I have the proper entries in my /etc/portage/package.keywords file as well .. actually i'll post that too:

nvidia-kernel ~x86
x11-base/opengl-update ~x86
/media-video/nvidia-glx ~x86
nvidia-glx ~x86
vpopmail ~x86
autorespond ~x86
vqadmin ~x86
qmailadmin ~x86
php-5.0.1 ~x86
dev-php/php-5.0.1 ~x86
dev-php/php ~x86

when i emerge php i get this error:

Calculating dependencies
!!! Problem in dev-php/php dependencies.
!!! "Specific key requires an operator (dev-php/php-5.0.1) (try adding an '=')"

now i have tried using the = .. here is an example:

root@system php # emerge =dev-php/php-5.0.1

Calculating dependencies
!!! Problem in =dev-php/php-5.0.1 dependencies.
!!! "Specific key requires an operator (dev-php/php-5.0.1) (try adding an '=')"

this led me to my final thought of trying to emerge the actual .ebuild itself and i get this:

root@system php # emerge php-5.0.1.ebuild

Calculating dependencies |Traceback (most recent call last):

raise KeyError, "Specific key requires an operator (%s) (try adding an '=')" % (mydep)
KeyError: "Specific key requires an operator (dev-php/php-5.0.1) (try adding an '=')"

i have no idea what to do and really need a hand getting this up and running ..

thanks in advance to anyone that helps

!

The problem is with your package.keywords file. Change:

ok i put the = in my package.keywords file. now i get this:

root@system php # emerge -pv php

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

You'll need to unemerge the blocker, aka, your previous php installation, and then you should be able to emerge it fine.
