Distel is a Emacs mode for Erlang development. Package includes .erl which are compiled to .beam and .el files. In Elisp source it's defined to search for .beam files in <site-lisp>/<distel>/../ebin/ directory, which means that placing .beam and .el files under different roots how it's implemented in app-emacs/distel-3.2_p20071103 doesn't work.

Thanks for the hint, this is broken behaviour. Clearly the elisp files belong in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ and not in /usr/share/distel/elisp/.
distel-4.03 committed to CVS. I've added a patch to make the path of the ebin directory configurable, so that we can set it in the site-init file. Could you please test if it works for you? The path issue already existed in the 3.2 snapshot, if I understand you correctly?

CVS = Portage tree ;-) 4.03 should appear on the normal rsync mirrors in a few hours.

Thanks. P.S. I'm a newbie and not familiar with ticket flow here - so changed resolution as FIXED.

This is O.K., but you may as well leave it to the maintainer. The rule is that a bug can be marked as FIXED when a working solution has been committed to the Portage tree. Thank you for reporting this issue.
fixed upstream. thanks for the patch. - distel Gentoo Task Force
