Hi,

I'm wondering what the esiest way to install additional php modules is. I need to install the imap module and I realize this requires the c-client library from UW-IMAP -- but I'm not really sure how to go about getting this installed. Also, not sure at all how to install GD. Any tips would be great.

Thanks.

echo "dev-php/php imap gd" >> /etc/portage/package.use
echo "dev-php/mod_php imap gd" >> /etc/portage/package.use

Re-emerge both and they should pull in the proper dependencies. I'd do an emerge -pv to make sure that the new use variables are showing up and what they are planning to install.
