The ebuild for tcng 9h causes /var/tmp/portage/tcng-9h/work/ to be set as the location of the its files. For example /usr/bin/tcc is: #!/bin/sh TCNG_TOPDIR=/var/tmp/portage/tcng-9h/work/usr exec /var/tmp/portage/tcng-9h/work/usr/bin/tcc.bin "$@" I can edit this file but it still can't find tcc.bin, which seems to have /var/tmp/portage/tcng-9h/work emebedded in it too: mark@gir mark $ strings /usr/bin/tcc.bin | grep portage /var/tmp/portage/tcng-9h/work/tcng /var/tmp/portage/tcng-9h/work/tcng /var/tmp/portage/tcng-9h/work/tcng mark@gir mark $ Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Following <http://linux-ip.net/gl/tcng/node8.html>: Step 1: Write a file with the tcng configuration. We shall call the file example.tc: dev eth0 { egress { drop if tcp_sport != PORT_HTTP; } } Step 2: Run tcc to convert the tcng configuration to tc commands. We save the output in a file called example.sh: tcc -r example.tc >example.sh The -r switch tells tcc to emit a command to remove any traffic control setup that may be in use at eth0 before trying to add the new configuration. You can look at the resulting output with cat example.sh, but it will look rather cryptic. Actual Results: mark@gir mark $ tcc -r example.tc > example.sh /usr/bin/tcc: line 2: /var/tmp/portage/tcng-9h/work/usr/bin/tcc.bin: No such file or directory /usr/bin/tcc: line 2: exec: /var/tmp/portage/tcng-9h/work/usr/bin/tcc.bin: cannot execute: No such file or directory mark@gir mark $ or, with the paths fixed in /usr/bin/tcc: mark@gir mark $ tcc -r example.tc > example.sh Could not run/locate "tcc.bin" mark@gir mark $ example.sh is empty. Expected Results: An example.sh with cryptic commands.

it's robbat2's package
fixing it now.
It seems to be partially upstream bug, I'm opening a discussion with the author about it. This part is upstream: mark@gir mark $ tcc -r example.tc > example.sh Could not run/locate "tcc.bin" The command that tcc is actually running is: cpp -$ tcc.bin example.tc -I... -include... and it is cpp that produces 'Could not run/locate "tcc.bin"'
fixed in the new version 9i in CVS. still discussion in progress with author, but i've put in my own fixes to make it work for now. they'll probably be accepted upstream.
