Bug 213420 – emerge =x11-libs/gtkglarea-1.99.0 installs package into /lib not /usr/lib

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Charles Stewart 2008-03-14 18:11:14 UTC]

x11-libs/gtkglarea-1.99.0 installs it's resulting library set into /lib not /usr/lib

This breaks any packages looking for the pkgconfig files for this library, since autotools projects do not look in /lib for pkgconfigs.  Also, this would be the only non-core library on my gentoo system to install itself and pkgconfig files into /lib

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. echo "x11-libs/gtkglarea ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
2. emerge --oneshot x11-libs/gtkglarea
3. ls /lib/libgtkgl*




This prevents installation of an ~x86 masked version of guile-gtk

Created attachment 146144 [details]
This ebuild fixes the library installation location

Please, attach a unified diff against current ebuild; a whole lot easier to review any changes. Also, calling ./configure directly is wrong for autotools-based stuff.

can't reproduce on x86 and amd64 (both ~arch)

[Comment 4 Charles Stewart 2008-03-15 15:25:07 UTC]

Odd, seems to have only happened once.  After emerging the package again, it didnt happen again.
