Created attachment 410276 [details] emerge --info media-gfx/meshlab-1.3.3 builds on my system (emerge --info attached for completeness) and runs properly. However, meshlab depends upon various plugins for much of its functionality. The ebuild installs these plugins in /usr/lib64/meshlab/plugins: src_install() { dobin distrib/{meshlab,meshlabserver} dolib distrib/libcommon.so.1.0.0 dosym libcommon.so.1.0.0 /usr/$(get_libdir)/libcommon.so.1 dosym libcommon.so.1 /usr/$(get_libdir)/libcommon.so exeinto /usr/$(get_libdir)/meshlab/plugins doexe distrib/plugins/*.so insinto /usr/share/meshlab/shaders doins -r distrib/shaders/* newicon "${S}"/meshlab/images/eye64.png "${PN}".png make_desktop_entry meshlab "Meshlab" } However, meshlab appears to be hard-coded to look for the plugins in /usr/bin - this can be seen by looking under the Help - About Plugins menu item in meshlab. There does not seem to be a way at build or run to configure this differently. Consequently much of meshlab's functionality is crippled. I think the same issue arises for the meshlab shaders, but I do not know where meshlab looks for them. A workaround is to create symlinks in /usr/bin to the relevant plugins, but this clutters /usr/bin with links that need to be maintained manually. Alternately the ebuild can be modified to install plugins into /usr/bin, but this seems sub-optimal as it will put a lot of inappropriate files into /usr/bin. Third, the source can be patched to agree with the installation paths in the ebuild - this looks preferable. However I don't know enough about writing patches to do the third (I couldn't even find the place in the source where the path is specified), hence filing the bug.
Maybe a patch is needed to load plugins from /usr/$(get_libdir)/meshlab/plugins instead of from a path relative to the executable.

Hi, I have the same problem and no idea how to fix this.
