Trying to get an Apache server with PHP going on a low-end Gentoo
machine. I have no use for X on it, and I don't want to wait for it to
compile. Could be decades on this thing.
emerge says it will install X and OpenGL and all kinds of weird stuff
when I do "emerge -p mod_php"
In make.conf I have USE="-X -gtk -gnome -alsa", why is it still
wanting to install X? PHP can't possibly absolutely NEED X.
What does mod_php depend on, for real? I could just emerge those
things and do "emerge --nodeps mod_php", right?

There's at least one more flag you should set, -qt. Otherwise do the
emerge with -v to see the flags you can use, and disable X-related ones.

if need be you can edit the .ebuild file manually and remove the deps you
don't want, though this can have adverse effects (though something like X
shouldn't be a very big issue)

I had the same requirement, and I eventually gave up trying. It seems
even if you have -X as a use flag something will eventually install it,
unfortunatly,....

What kinds of things do you have on that machine? I've managed to keep a
machine with just apache, php, mysql, and other solely server-related
things completely X-free (pun intended). Aside from the X USE flag, also
check flags such as qt and arts.
