When installing tiff in a different directory than / using ROOT=/home/user/gentoo, the installation fails (permission denied) or Sandbox failures. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ROOT="somedir" emerge tiff Actual Results: Permission denied, and/or sandbox access violation Expected Results: Correct installation The reason is that tiff's install.sh uses the ROOT variable.

I could reproduce the problem so I went ahead and applied the patch. Thanks for the bug report Martin. This is fixed in CVS so I'll go ahead and close the bug. Reopen if there's a problem.
