Hi!

I would like to ask the maintainters of the ACML library to consider moving the "acml.h" header file from /usr/include/acml to /usr/include. Since the library file is installed directly into /usr/{get_libdir} directory, it would be preferable to have the header file in /usr/include as well.

By changing the location, the programs/libraries that checks for the acml.h header file (sci-libs/itpp for instance), will find it without adding any special environment settings, like "CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/acml". Similarly to, e.g. checking for fftw3.h, and libfftw3.*.

Besides, there is only one header file "acml.h" with a distinctive name, so it shouldn't conflict with any other packages.

What is your opinion?

BR,

[Sorry this took so long.]

I just added a symlink /usr/include/acml.h, pointing to acml/acml.h to all
sci-libs/acml versions. I didn't rev-bump any of them, so if you want this symlink
just create it yourself or remerge acml.
