Bug 480926 – gschemas.compiled not found

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description jbhr0001 2013-08-13 21:08:53 UTC]

gsettings list-schemas terminates with segmentation fault 

after looking up:
open("/usr/local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

The real location of the file is:
$EPREFIX/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled 

Also, other GNOME applications (like for example eog) 

are looking up:
[pid  5806] open("/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory).
[pid  5806] open("/usr/local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

but NOT the real location below $EPREFIX.

Does it work, if '$EPREFIX/usr/share' is *added* to XDG_DATA_DIRS ?
It's important to add instead override, or other stuff tends to break.

Both gnome-settings and eog work with environment variable XDG_DATA_DIRS=$EPREFIX/usr/share  alone or XDG_DATA_DIRS=$EPREFIX/usr/share:/usr/share (don't know the default value of XDG_DATA_DIRS).

% env | grep XDG_DATA_DIRS | sed -e "s:${EPREFIX}:EPREFIX:g"
XDG_DATA_DIRS=EPREFIX/usr/share

so it should be set?

I'm affraid these versions are long gone.  I hope the current state is different.
