Description Dan Wallis 2010-11-17 23:45:09 UTC 
This patch allows successful installation of sys-apps/miscfiles-1.5 on my prefix:

What about changing the following line:

econf --datadir=/usr/share/misc || die

to 

econf --datadir="${EPREFIX}/usr/share/misc instead.

I haven't tested it. I'll look at it soon (maybe tomorrow) if no one else does.
Comment 2 Jeremy Olexa (darkside) (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2010-11-17 23:52:40 UTC 
of course:

econf --datadir="${EPREFIX}"/usr/share/misc
Comment 3 Dan Wallis 2010-11-18 00:18:30 UTC 
Looks like that works too. (I've just tested and didn't get any errors.)
I chose that particular line because miscfiles-1.4.2-r1.ebuild has:

src_install() {
    emake install prefix="${ED}/usr" || die
    dodoc NEWS ORIGIN README dict-README
Comment 4 Jeremy Olexa (darkside) (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2010-11-18 02:31:22 UTC 
Yea, the ebuild got re-factored abit on the bump, I guess.

Anyway, fixed now. Thanks!
