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 FWIW, I too have dev-python/pycrypto-2.0.1-r6 installed on an AMD64 system. 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. Good morning ;-) I think i repaired my environment ;-) I did a qfile -v /usr/local/lib/python2.5 and unmerged all packages installed into this directory. 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
[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

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
