All mysql ebuilds using mysql.eclass install their header and shared librarie files into the wrong paths. The headers are installed in '/usr/include/mysql-VERSION/mysql' and the libraries in '/usr/lib/mysql-VERSION/mysql' where 'VERSION is the major/minor-version of the installed mysql. I guess this is not intended and the right directories are /usr/include/mysql-VERSION and /usr/lib/mysql-VERSION Build 2006-02-18 on Linux 2.6.14 The ebuild with which I first encountered the bug was mysql-5.0.18-r30 but mysql-4.1.18-r30 showed the same behavior. The bug is caused by the sed skript in line 372 of mysql.eclass: find . -name 'Makefile' \ -exec sed --in-place \ -e 's|^pkglibdir\s*=\s*$(libdir)/mysql|pkglibdir = $(libdir)|' \ -e 's|^pkgincludedir\s*=\s*$(includedir)/mysql|pkgincludedir = $(includedir)|' \ {} \; At least some implementations of sed seem not to support '\s' so that the lines in the makefile are not replaced and the files get installed in the wrong path. I used GNU sed Version 4.0.7.
gnu sed version 4 should be really ok, please post the output of "emerge --info && sed --version"
also the output of "equery f dev-db/mysql" could be interesting. may be you had a broken file system, i.e. the previous mysql de-installed badly, this is a know (and hopefully now resolved) bug.
Created attachment 80197 [details] emerge --info
Created attachment 80198 [details] sed --version
I included the output of emerge --info and sed --version as attachments. I could fix the problem on my system by replacing the '\s*' with normal space characters in the sed skript on line 372 following of mysql.eclass. The downside is that it won't recognise the line any more if it contains multiple spaces. ' \+' might do the trick, but i didn't test that myself, yet.

Before the fix, the files in the wrong subdirectory belonged to the package like one should expect.
mysql slotted has been retired, closing as fixed
