Description:   Opened: 2003-06-19 06:55 0000 
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. Found by Yannick
Koehler. See patch.

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.
