After the unmerging i still had python files remaining in /usr/local/lib/python2.5. I erased them because the only package owning /usr/local/lib/python2.5 was sys-apps/file After that i remerged them again and all of a suddend each package went into /usr/lib/python2.5 I believe it had something to do with the autoconf macros: AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM Perhaps i pulled in a buggy ebuild from somewhere so that it got installed into /usr/local/lib/... and the other ebuilds all guessed the install dir by locating python? I still can't figure out what went wrong but i think it's solved now... /usr/local/lib is empty now and no ebuilds are complaining so far. Thanks to you all! :-) - Andreas

However my files are in /usr/lib, not in /usr/local/lib as reported by the OP -- which makes it sound like the ebuild is OK and there's something unusual in his environment.

That's pretty normal, it's so that your customizations override the distro default, much like dot files in ~ override whatever is in /etc/ David's comment about b0rked ebuilds is spot-on. Most packages are built using autotools, which defaults to --prefix=/usr/local. The ebuild author forgot to change it to /usr/, so you have to figure out what he should have done and do it yourself. I would recommend submitting a bug report plus patch when you solve it, and meanwhile keeping a correct copy of the ebuild in your local overlay. By and large the broken ebuild works, as libs in /usr/local are still found on systems with sane linkers, despite the location being technically incorrect -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

I will try that after emerge -eD world has finished ... 330 of 697 weee ;-) Although i don't have any downloaded packages, everything that went in, went in through portage ;D Besides...i got the following packages installed to /usr/local/. I still doubt that this is a problem with ~amd64 Perhaps something in /etc/env.d/ can cause this?

I'd try using equery to find the ebuilds that installed "bad" files. Then I'd look for "/usr/local" in those ebuilds and fix them. Putting the fixed ebuilds in /usr/local/portage/..., rather than just changing /usr/portage/..., might be even better. Lastly, I'd report the b0rked ebuilds on bugzilla.gentoo.org and would include the fixes with the reports. Looking on my system, all that /usr/local/lib is /usr/local/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/doxypy-0.3rc2-py2.5.egg-info which appears to have come from manually installing ~/Download/doxypy-0.3rc2.tar.gz, i.e. the one such file I have isn't from an ebuild at all. Might that be what's happened to you? HTH, David

Whats your intention behind? I had some trouble during upgrading Python2.4 to Python2.5 where some ebuilds installed themselves to /usr/local/lib depending ebuilds were looking into /usr/lib. Whilst having no idea how i messed that one up (aside from accepting ~amd64 ebuilds ;-)) i want to correct that by remerging the messed up packages with the correct(?) path. In addition i try to solve the problems by doing an emerge -eaD world right at the moment - Andreas

[gentoo-user] Change install directory of ebuilds?
Greetings, Is it possible to change the install-directory of ebuilds? Let's say for example: TODIR=/usr/local/lib emerge python I tried to find a clue within the Gentoo Documentation and the Forums but still no idea how to do that. - As it is my first post to a mailing list, i hope it's not kind of a dumb question that can be solved by a "RTFM" ;-) - - Andreas
