Hello, in the libfprint-ebuilds there is a step in the install-routine: if ! use static-libs ; then$ rm -v "${D}"/usr/lib64/libfprint.la || die$ fi this step is done regardless of the architecture the package is build on. My machine s a 32 bit intel machine and the reffered directory is not created during the build. So building is done and then the install fails. Could you "just" add a test, if the directory even exists or if the architecture is 64 bit? Currently I solved the problem by setting "static-libs" use flag, so the command is not executed, I think that is not the way it is meant to be.
