hrmm, shouldn't be looking in the temporary directory for that.

can you do 'grep "/var/tmp/portage" /usr/lib/*.la' & post the output if any ?

Here is the output you asked for:

can you add USE_DESTDIR="1" to the libgnomeprint ebuild & rebuild it please,
see if that helps.

CC-ing maintainers that should use 'make DESTDIR=${D} install' in their ebuilds
instead of einstall if possible : db & expat.

comment 7, that isn't the same problem that this report is about. It is also a
dupe of bug 41124

Adding USE_DESTDIR="1" seems to make no difference :-(

to *libgnomeprint* right, not libgnomeprintui .. be verbose in your reporting.

Sorry. I added USE_DESTDIR="1" to libgnomeprint but mistakenly emerged
libgnomeprintui. Reemerging the libgnomeprint package solved the problem.

added USE_DESTDIR to 2.8.2, that should fix this.

@ CC-ed devs : please take a look at comment #6 : fix db & expat ebuilds.
