I fixed this in my own tree - basically the makefile needs some work.  make prefix=${D}/usr install  should be changed to:  make mandir=${D}/share/man prefix=${D}/usr install

I tried it, and this time the ebuild finished. However, I still cannot run jpilot:

mellofone$ jpilot
bash: jpilot: command not found

mellofone$ whereis jpilot
jpilot: /usr/lib/jpilot /usr/man/man1/jpilot.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/jpilot.1.gz

mellofone$ which jpilot
which: no jpilot in

-r1 works fine here...

What does your USE line in /etc/make.conf look like?

[Comment 4 Matthew Daubenspeck 2002-08-18 08:57:40 UTC]

Works now, the ebuild must have been updated...
