Description Michael Croes 2007-05-02 20:37:09 UTC 
The ebuild for net-mail/vpopmail-5.4.16 has the mysql libdir hardcoded to /usr/lib/mysql. On every Gentoo system I have ever used mysql on this dir has been /var/lib/mysql, so I guess someone just mistyped the path here. This bug prevents vpopmail from building, changing the path to /var/lib/mysql fixes it again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sync
2. emerge -v net-mail/vpopmail

Actual Results:  
checks fail at finding mysql lib dir, emerge stops.

Expected Results:  
Checks pass, vpopmail gets compiled and installed correctly.

--with-libdir is not the mysql datadir where databases are stored, but the directory where mysql client libraries needed at link time are stored...
