USE Flags Problem.

This is really weird..
When I do
Code:
emerge -av dev-lang/php dev-php5/jpgraph base
I get a error for php that I need to enable to following use flags.
Code:
cli pcre xml zlib
And when you check my make.conf file it says:
Code:
USE="apache2 cli gd mysql pcre php png session ssl xml zlib"
I dont know for sure but in
Code:
USE="apache2 cli gd mysql pcre php png session ssl xml zlib"
I clearly see them.
So what am I doing wrong?
Have I maybe took two use flags that are struggling together?

I hope there is somebody who can help me with this

Does "emerge -puDvN world" report something?

If affirmative, some package need to be recompiled (probably including php). Just throwing your use flags on your make.conf doesn't help. The "effects" are not applied until you recompile the involved packages to add the required support.

Just for future reference, If you add use flags to /etc/make.conf, sometimes a LOT of packages already installed, need to recompile again to make use of the new use flags. Sometimes it's helpfull to include the use flags to the emerge command like this:
USE=win32codecs emerge -av mplayer

That is what the -N parameter stands for. A simple "emerge -uDvN world" would suffice, as I explained above. It will recompile everything that needs a change due to new USE flags settings.
