LXR (linux cross reference) only has an ebuild for 0.3.1 version released in 2003. the current development version is 0.9.4. it is quite usable and has many improvements over the 0.3.1 version. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: here is the LXR website: http://sourceforge.net/projects/lxr
LXR really needs a version bump _XOR_ should be removed from the portage-tree because this ebuild doesn't work anymore. (I tried to build a new ebuild, but it is harder that it seems because of a long config file.) The necessary output of "emerge lxr": [SNIP] * This ebuild uses webapp.eclass's webapp_runbycgibin, which is now * deprecated. Please file a bug about this in Bugzilla. [SNIP] ================================================================= POST-INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS ================================================================= /var/tmp/portage/lxr-0.3.1/temp/tmp.4gH4ue: line 1: INSTALLPREFIX: command not d /var/tmp/portage/lxr-0.3.1/temp/tmp.4gH4ue: line 1: INSTALLPREFIX: command not d /var/tmp/portage/lxr-0.3.1/temp/tmp.4gH4ue: line 1: INSTALLPREFIX: command not d /var/tmp/portage/lxr-0.3.1/temp/tmp.4gH4ue: line 1: INSTALLPREFIX: command not d [SNIP]
0.9.4 is in CVS. ppc - please test and mark stable ASAP, as the currently stable version is horribly outdated and broken.
but please wait for this: perl folks, please review the new ebuild and let me know if what i'm doing with installing some perl stuff is ok.

It's in the tree. The old ebuild was so broken that I wanted to commit the new version that seems to work fine here.
i'd swear i didn't see it last go around...anywho, since this doesn't have any kind of makefile.pl, config, etc., looks like your approach is the only viable one. I'd probably recommend using /usr/$(get_libdir)/ for the amd64 folks eventually, and once installed I couldn't grok how to get the mysql table loaded...but as far as the perl bit goes, yeah, go for it :)
thanks, both issues are fixed in CVS
