No gettext support for PHP5 in Gentoo

Published on August 28, 2008 at 3 pm by Aleksandr Tsertkov

After upgrading PHP5 on our developement server I’ve realized that gettext support is not compiled anymore. PHP got compiled with “–without-gettext” configuration option and I found no way to re enable gettext extension.

Update: to compile php with gettext support you have to use “nsl” USE flag. Thanks to Clayton for pointing this out.

    Alexandr,
    This was annoying me to no end as well. Try USE=”nls” and that should do the trick.
