U guys are really good.

But could anyone tell me WHY this happens. I emerged PHP before without problems but now all of a sudden this happens and I have to do the funky -java in my use!!!!

Add me to the list as well. I have updated php before, and have not received this error. Why is this happening now?

I also had php installed on 2 servers with no issues, and get the fork error message. While the -java is a solution, it seems to me that something appears broken. If java is set, shouldn't the ebuild adjust for this ?

Multiple problems are showing up. Fork is used in older ebuilds just fine. Adding java support crashes the house of cards. Read

For more info about fork problem.

For the lazy:) - fork is the first symptom. The configure script getting size of char =0 whenever java is used is the first problem.

Ditto. Three servers and a desktop here. Although only one has php on it, and was a very recent new "build-from-scratch", the -java USE variable caused it to find fork. Otherwise was doing the same thing as the original posted said. Thanks to those who figured this out. Now just to debug it...

Yet-another-ditto.

USE="-java -qt" emerge -u packages

That worked for me. It borked on fork so I used '-java' - and then it borked again on QT, so I added the '-qt'

And here's why doing USE="-qt" makes it work:
