emerge dev-php/php :: xorg blocker

GRiMwolf · n00b Joined: 12 Sep 2005 Posts: 16

So I'm trying to build a web server. I try to do an "emerge dev-php/php" and I get an error.

Do a pretend and it's telling me that:

[blocks B ] virtual/x11 (is blocking x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6)

I DIDN'T INSTALL X! I'm assuming it's part of the base system and php has dependencies on it for some obscure reason that I don't know....but I digress.

So...how do I get x11 replaced and xorg installed so php is happy and will emerge?

I tried doing some searching and came up empty.

Thanks in advance to those who reply.

Can you post your emerge --info, please?

Also post the output of emerge -pv php, if you get a chance.

As I said in my first post. x11 is "Blocking" xorg.

Ok, that's just weird. Virtual/x11 shouldn't be showing up as a package to install, it should just be pointing to xorg (or whatever you're using for X). Well, X is getting pulled in because it's in your USE. Try compiling with -X in there.

If you are trying to set up a webserver, try emerging dev-lang/php with USE="cli" instead.
The dev-lang/php is a "special" ebuild for setting up a (apache) webserver with php support.
More info about that can be found here ...
Or if you really want to use dev-php/php, try this:

As an aside: Check out this blurb in the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter. Bug-worthy?

Well, same thing here, and all of the stuff I read above will not work...

Put "-X" in your USE variable in /etc/make.conf

X is likely set automatically for some reason.

Just out of curiosity, what do you get with emerge -tv dev-lang/php? Maybe it's a dependency of a dependency or some such...? (Bit of a long shot, I know.)

dev-lang/php depends on X11 if you enable the "xpm" USE flag, wich is an image format that is supported through the X11 libraries, when the new Modular X is more stabilized and some things are resolved, we'll probably change the dependency to only require the X11 libraries and not the whole build.
