oops, ryan ... i goofed. turns out the macports memcached port is only the daemon and doesnt include the php extension. sorry, i should have made sure it was working for me first. no big deal if you already added the variant though -- php works fine without the extension installed (just cant use memcache). anyway, the build for the php extension (requires memcached and a phpize) is straightforward. i will try to submit a portfile for this as soon as i get a chance, however ... one thing im not sure about here (cc'ing dev in case others have input) ... should something like this be its own port? or a variant of php? or both? the "memcached" is obviously a completely independent package from php, but the memcache php extension is dependent on both. ive run into this a couple times before too .. for instance, theres a port called "syck" (for yaml parsing) thats also independent from php, but the php api depends on both php and syck. been working with yum on fc5 some lately and the solution there is to use a different package for every such situation (so you would get php-memcache, php-syck, etc), but seems like that might not work so well when installing from source. -emory On Thu, Mar 15 , at , Mar15 11:50 PM, Ryan Schmidt wrote:
Hi Emory. Sounds like a good idea. I'll add it.

hi ryan,
wondering if a memcache variant could be added for php4/5?
thanks, emory
variant memcache { depends_lib-append port:memcached configure.args-append --enable-memcache }
