I found a bit of a kludge that seems to temporarily fix the problem
without modifying the standard OS X environment. I added the
following to my ~/.bashrc
# if we are in the prefixed gentoo
if `echo $SHELL|grep Gentoo 1>/dev/null 2>&1` ; then
# source prefixed profile
source ${HOME}/Library/Gentoo/etc/profile
# fix color ls
alias ls='ls --color'
# disable bold in PS1
PS1=`echo $PS1|sed s/01\;/00\;/g`
PS1=$PS1' '
export PS1
fi
But this is not a proper fix. I tried compiling bash a few times with
different configure options. Specifically I tried
./configure --prefix=/Users/wilson/Library/Gentoo --sysconfdir=/
Users/wilson/Library/Gentoo/etc
but this bash still sourced /etc/profile. The configure script
documents the --sysconfdir option
$ ./configure --help|grep sysconf
--sysconfdir=DIR read-only single-machine data [PREFIX/etc]
I don't understand why this option has no effect (or why the prefix
option doesn't do the same as is implied by the [PREFIX/etc].
