emerge file-3.41 creates following wrong directories and installs files too in those directories: >>> Merging sys-apps/file-3.41 to / --- /usr/ --- /usr/share/ --- /usr/share/doc/ >>> /usr/share/doc/file-3.41/ >>> /usr/share/doc/file-3.41/README.gz >>> /usr/share/doc/file-3.41/LEGAL.NOTICE.gz >>> /usr/share/doc/file-3.41/MAINT.gz --- /usr/share/man/ --- /usr/share/man/man1/ >>> /usr/share/man/man1/file.1.gz --- /usr/share/man/man4/ >>> /usr/share/man/man4/magic.4.gz --- /usr/share/man/man5/ >>> /--dat/ >>> /--dat/usr/ >>> /--dat/usr/share/ >>> /--dat/usr/share/misc/ >>> /--dat/usr/share/misc/magic.mime >>> /--dat/usr/share/misc/magic.mime.mgc >>> /--dat/usr/share/misc/magic >>> /--dat/usr/share/misc/magic.mgc >>> /--prefix/ >>> /--prefix/usr/ >>> /--prefix/usr/bin/ >>> /--prefix/usr/bin/file >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... >>> sys-apps/file-3.41 merged. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge file Actual Results: creates directories in the wrong place. Expected Results: should just copy files into directories without --prefix and --dat in the beginning of path.

which version of autoconf and automake do you use ? ebuild is good and installs it here in the right place do you see any warning or error messages during emerge ?
Created attachment 9230 [details] output of "emerge file" I use following versions: autoconf 2.54 automake 1.63
I tried to configure and compile it manually and found that configure creates invalid makefile.

Closing since latest stable release is 4.02. Please re-open if you still have problems with this in newer ebuilds.
