Bug 156568 – glibc-2.5 install programs into wrong path when $bindir is set in host env

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Rob 2006-11-28 16:52:09 UTC]

glibc-2.5 installs files meant for '/usr/bin' in my home/rob/.bin directory.
/home/rob/.bin/ldd
/home/rob/.bin/lddlibc4
/home/rob/.bin/iconv
/home/rob/.bin/sprof
/home/rob/.bin/getconf
/home/rob/.bin/gencat
/home/rob/.bin/getent
/home/rob/.bin/locale
/home/rob/.bin/mtrace
/home/rob/.bin/pcprofiledump
/home/rob/.bin/rpcgen
/home/rob/.bin/localedef
/home/rob/.bin/catchsegv
/home/rob/.bin/xtrace

I have my paths setup so '/home/rob/.bin' and '/usr/local/bin' occur first so I
can use these directories for testing stuff.  My paths are;
PATH=/home/rob/.bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/lib/portage/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/kde/3.5/bin:/usr/kde/3.5/sbin:/usr/qt/3/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.1.1:/usr/games/bin:/usr/lib/java/bin:/usr/lib/java/jre/bin

ROOTPATH is identical.

SOLUTION:
copied all files to the correct location and edited
'/var/db/pkgs/sys-libs/glibc-2.5{CONTENTS & NEEDED}' to reflect the proper
location, then done 'touch -r PF CONTENTS NEEDED' to reset timestamps.
