If you are going to change from the old-style PHP (dev-php/php) to the new-style PHP (dev-lang/php), then you need to follow the PHP upgrading instructions on this page: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/php/php-upgrading.xml I highly suggest it, as IIRC the old-style PHP is no longer supported. -- Michael Stewart [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gentoo Developer http://dev.gentoo.org/~vericgar GnuPG Key ID 0x08614788 available on http://pgp.mit.edu --
