you probably have some other games.eclass or something in your overlays. games_get_libdir() should be returning the right directory. Attach the full output from the build as text/plain please.
i've had childsplay for months. the problem with childspay appeared during an emerge -e sytstem and world about three weeks ago. i have this same problem with epsxe-1.6.0-r3. epsxe was recently merged for the first time a few days ago. >>> Completed installing epsxe-1.6.0-r3 into /mnt/atomic/local/gentoo/tmp/portage/games-emulation/epsxe-1.6.0-r3/image/ ./ ./psemu/ ./psemu/cheats/ ./psemu/cheats/breath_of_fire_4_usa.cht ./psemu/cheats/tarzan_pal.cht ./psemu/cheats/chrono_cross_ntsc.cht ./opt/ ./opt/epsxe/ ./opt/epsxe/epsxe ./opt/epsxe/keycodes.lst

You have an old ebuild. Resync. Should look like this: _LOCALEDIR=/usr/share/locale _ASSETMLDIR=/usr/share/assetml _SCOREDIR=${GAMES_STATEDIR} _SCOREFILE=${_SCOREDIR}/childsplay.score _CPDIR=$(games_get_libdir)/childsplay _SHAREDIR=${GAMES_DATADIR}/childsplay _LIBDIR=${_CPDIR}/lib _MODULESDIR=${_LIBDIR} _SHARELIBDATADIR=${_SHAREDIR}/lib _SHAREDATADIR=${_SHAREDIR}/Data _RCDIR=${_SHARELIBDATADIR}/ConfigData _HOME_DIR_NAME=.childsplay _CHILDSPLAYRC=childsplayrc
the problem is corrected if i disable my overlays. i have checked my overlay directories and none of them contain any eclasses. it is common advise to create an overlay. i only use mine to keep certain ebuilds that drop out of portage but i don't really like the updated programs (for instance gliv ... the new one in portage has different keyboard controls than the one i use). i tried softlinking the eclass directory from the main portage tree into my overlay, but that didn't work. i'm worried now... what other problems might using overlays cause or have already cause? please advise... thanks.
ok, the childsplay ebuild in my overlay was an exact copy from the main portage tree. but, at some point the ebuild in portage was updated and changed but the version number stayed the same. during the world emerge whatever changes were made to the ebuild showed up since the whole system was rebuilt. i check my overlays to see if any have been upgraded so i can remove or add them as i want, but how is a user supposed to know an ebuild has changed when the version number stays the same. there's gotta be some way of versioning the ebuilds. i'd say add the date to the ebuild. so childsplay-0.85.1 becomes childsplay-0.85.1-20070127. anyhow, i replaced my overlay 0.85.1 with the current portage 0.85.1, updated the digest, and it installed properly.
BTW... thanks for your all help mr. bones. if i'd have checked my email sooner, i'd have realized you figured out the problem 2 hours before me! ha! i fixed the problem with my Epsxe overlay by tweaking the ebuild for amd64 from this bug by replacing the install section with the part from the ebuild in portage... i noticed you name in the ebuild. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104751
