How to enable SimpleXML extension in PHP (Gentoo OS)


I am working on a gentoo server. Currently in PHP, the SimpleXML extension is not enabled. How do I enable this extension ?

The PHP version is 5.2

The configure command has "--disable-simplexml".

Is it possible to use "emerge" package manager to enable this extension ?


Solution

  • You should reemerge php with the 'simplexml' USE flag set. It is on-by-default, so you probably will not have to do anything more than

    emerge php -vua

    In the case that the 'simplexml' USE flag is not set, add it to your USE= set in /etc/make.conf and then reemerge php using the above command.
