I had net-firewall/nufw-2.2.21 installed. I then tried to install mysql-ruby-2.8.1 which terminated with following error: >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/dev-ruby/mysql-ruby-2.8.1/work/mysql-ruby-2.8.1 ... checking for mysql_query() in -lmysqlclient... yes checking for mysql_ssl_set()... yes checking for rb_str_set_len()... yes checking for rb_thread_start_timer()... yes checking for mysql.h... yes conftest.c:1:20: Fehler: errmsg.h: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden conftest.c:2:26: Fehler: mysqld_error.h: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden *** extconf.rb failed *** Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers.

And as I found out, the package net-firewall/nufw installs a mysql.h in /usr/include whereas the include files of mysql server are installed under /usr/include/mysql. I think that the nufw package shouldn't install its include files directly under /usr/include and should install them instead under /usr/include/nufw Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge nufw verify that mysql.h is installed under /usr/include: 2. equery f nufw 3. emerge mysql-ruby Actual Results: emerge of mysql-ruby fails Expected Results: mysql-ruby should emerge the same way when emerging without nufw perhaps nufw ebuild should be altered to install includefiles under /usr/include/nufw. I also will attach a new ebuild for nufw-2.2.21 that solves the problem.
Created attachment 223129 [details] New ebuild that solves the problem of installing include-files (esp. mysql.h) under /usr/include added line 72: --includedir="/usr/include/nufw" \
adding mysql-bugs@ to CC too in case they are intrested
Yup, nufw should NOT be installing /usr/include/mysql.h definitely.
Fix in CVS with version bump 2.2.22
