in bin/Makefile.am and lib/Makefile.am, the symlinking of *-config targets all target $(DESTDIR)$(BINDIR)/eselect; should be $(BINDIR)/eselect instead. Purpose of DESTDIR is staging; not final installation location, thus the absolute link location used there is incorrect and should be fixed.
to be clear, version 1.0.8 suffers this also.
I assume you mean man/Makefile.am, not lib(s)/Makefile.am. Fixed in svn, r355/r356. There might be a 1.0.9 soon with this in it. Thanks for the report.
No, I mean lib/Makefile.am . man I hadn't noticed, but it has the same issue; short version, tar jxf eselect-1.0.8.tar.bz2 mkdir tmp cd eselect-1.0.8 ./configure && make && make DESTDIR=../tmp install cd ../tmp; ls -l$(find . -type l) #fugly output, but gives you the idea of what's going on... ./usr/local/share/man/man1/bashcomp-config.1 -> /home/bharring/tmp4/usr/local/share/man/man5/bashcomp.eselect.5 ./usr/local/share/man/man1/kernel-config.1 -> /home/bharring/tmp4/usr/local/share/man/man5/kernel.eselect.5 ./usr/local/share/man/man1/rc-config.1 -> /home/bharring/tmp4/usr/local/share/man/man5/rc.eselect.5 ./usr/local/share/man/man1/profile-config.1 -> /home/bharring/tmp4/usr/local/share/man/man5/profile.eselect.5 ./usr/local/bin/bashcomp-config -> /home/bharring/tmp4/usr/local/bin/eselect ./usr/local/bin/profile-config -> /home/bharring/tmp4/usr/local/bin/eselect ./usr/local/bin/rc-config -> /home/bharring/tmp4/usr/local/bin/eselect ./usr/local/bin/kernel-config -> /home/bharring/tmp4/usr/local/bin/eselect Note the absolute paths for the generated links. All of the link generation in eselect's makefiles is screwed up in this way.

There is a libs/Makefile.am, but that only has a cp, no ln -s. > man I hadn't noticed, but it has the same issue; short version, > Note the absolute paths for the generated links.

Yes, did you look at the svn revisions I mentioned? http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/eselect?view=rev&rev=356 Those are the only Makefile.ams doing any symlinking. They have been fixed as you described. For example: lrwxrwxrwx 1 pioto pioto 22 2007-01-30 03:41 ./usr/local/bin/bashcomp-config -> /usr/local/bin/eselect

Yeah, cracked out on that one (pays to not look at the bugspam when you first get up it seems). > Yes, did you look at the svn revisions I mentioned? Think that's something of a rhetorical question in light of that rev ;) Thanks.
This should be fixed in 1.0.9, which just was committed to CVS.
