Description:   Opened: 2005-02-14 07:42 0000 
When I run xmaxima (5.9.1-r1) it works fine until I try to access the
documentation in the link in the lower pane. When you click on the "Full
Documentation" link in the lower pane, you get an error message

couldn't open "/usr/share/maxima/5.9.1/doc/html/maxima_toc.html": no such file
or directory

It looks like the ebuild is installing the documentation in the wrong place; it
ends up in

/usr/share/doc/maxima-5.9.1-r1/html

and it should be in (as the error message indicates)

/usr/share/maxima/5.9.1/doc/html

------- Comment #1 From Lars Petersen 2005-04-10 03:35:07 0000 ------- 
Try the following (as root):

# ln -s /usr/share/doc/maxima-5.9.1-r1 /usr/share/maxima/5.9.1/doc

That worked for me.

Maybe a 

symlink ${D}/usr/share/doc/${PF} /usr/share/${PN}/${PV}/doc

should be added at the end of the ebuild's src_install() function?

HTH, Lars

Oops, without the "${D}", of course...

------- Comment #3 From Olivier Fisette 2005-04-17 11:37:19 0000 ------- 
Thanks for the notice. In 5.9.1-r2, documentation is back to its right place,
with a "/usr/share/doc/maxima-5.9.1-r2" symlink pointing to it to respect the
Gentoo FSH.

On ppc we are still on version 5.9.1 without anything else in ~ppc.
I cannot even start xmaxima as it displays a message saying that it 
doesn't find the documentation and exit (after being invited to click
OK in a box). maxima works fine (but I didn't try to access the documentation).
