When emerging x11-libs/qt-3.3.2 , many qt-related programs are built, but not linked to (or moved to) the normal places, such as /usr/bin. These programs include qmake, qtconfig, and 11 other programs. The executables are all located in /usr/qt/3/bin . These should be installed to a good spot, so that they can be easily used by root and/or users. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge qt-3.3.2 2. look in /usr/qt/3/bin/ for the executables The full list of the programs in /usr/qt/3/bin: assistant findtr lrelease moc qmake qtconfig uic designer linguist lupdate qm2ts qt20fix qtrename140
And that gets added to your path by the ebuild as well, so it shouldn't be a problem...
Ah, that is correct, /usr/qt/3/bin is added to normal users' paths. Unless there is a good reason to add it to root path (it might be convenient, but is not critical), I'd say this issue is solved.
It's added to root's path for interactive logins.
