php/php_mod install issues

Is this the first install of PHP or an upgrade? You could try rebuilding PHP's deps. Maybe...

emerge -puD php mod_php

Well if you did want 4x instead of 5, version 4.3.9 was moved to stable recently. I upgraded from 4.3.8 with no problems. Maybe the version change will help you.

Remeber that PHP uses a ton of rarely used USE flags (emerge -pv php) in Gentoo, and many popular PHP options (sessions, postgresql support, etc) are turned off by default. You can use /etc/portage/package.use to add the proper USR flags to PHP specifically. If I recall correctly, I have had trouble building PHP, without setting my usual flags, in the past. Perhaps it's trying to include support for something silly that is killing it.
