The ebuild compiles as it should, but it installs under /usr/site-lisp instead of /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp
Created attachment 41732 [details] auctex-11.53-r1.ebuild This ebuild installs the correct way, although it may perhaps be done simpler (what do I know :-) ) einstall in line 26 of the original ebuild is substituted with elisp-install ${PN} *.el *.elc || die elisp-install ${PN}/style style/*.el style/*.elc || die
Well, this is a bit odd. I'm not the only one with this problem: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=223597&highlight=auctex but on another machine which I just install a week ago, there is no problem. The problem seems to be related to the SITELISP variable.
Right, it seems auctex ebuild was broken since 30 Sep with the update of emacs-21.3-r4. The configure script of auctex doesn't calculate site-lisp directory correctly. I fixed it by adding --with-lispdir. Thanks for the bug report.
