Some notes on ROOT: * The idea behind ROOT is that one can build a system with ROOT=/somewhere and then chroot into it or tar up /somewhere as a system image. It is not designed to allow the user to run /somewhere/usr/bin/foo. * ROOT can't be used correctly in src_*, since ROOT might be different when merging a binary package. For example, a binary package might be built with ROOT=/ and then installed onto a system using ROOT=/somewhere. * ROOT isn't used for library dependencies. When building, libraries, headers etc. on / have to be used. Cross-compiling etc is done by configuring the toolchain correctly, not by hacking ebuilds in a way that breaks binary packages.

Looks like it was introduced with qwtplot3d-0.2.6-r2, reverted that line to -r1. That should take care of qwtplot3d - let me know if there are any further problems. Think that is all on here for me or sci so removing us both.
As part of my regular cleanup, this version was removed on February 22, 2007. x11-plugins/gkrellsun-0.9.1 And so it shall trouble you no more.
perl is no longer r00t3d here.
fxscintilla rootless.
www-servers/monkeyd done! thanks!
x11-misc/dmenu done
www-apache/mod_gnutls done. Best regards, CHTEKK.
x11-misc/electricsheep happy and $ROOTless
Only ones remaining from this list are: x11-base/kdrive x11-themes/mythtv-themes
kdrive done
www-apache/mod_gnutls was already fixed and I just fixed mythtv-themes. QA, I guess this bug can be closed?
