Description TGL 2004-01-09 04:14:32 UTC

In version 1.8.0, there was a configure option --with-etcdir to set location of config file, and default was changed to /etc/dict. This option does not exists anymore and is replaced by the standard --sysconfdir option. But the 1.9.7 ebuild still uses this old option instead of the new one, hence dictd and dict don't work anymore.

This pseudo patch fix it:
	econf \
		--with-cflags="${CFLAGS}" \
-		--with-etcdir=/etc/dict || die
+		--sysconfdir=/etc/dict || die
	make || die

Thanks,
TGL.
