The function lib_dir() in electron.eselect tries to identify the lib directory by looking for where postgresql is installed. That obviously won't work if postgresql is not installed at all. (Copy & paste much? :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use a system where electron is not intalled in /usr/lib but in /usr/lib64 or /usr/lib32 2.Install electron and eselect-electron, but not postgresql 3.Run "eselect electron list" Actual Results: Available Electron Slots !!! Warning: No slots available.

Hi. It's not the build that fails. eselect-electron-2.0 can be emerged just fine. The problem is that it doesn't work correctly because of the copy&paste bug I described (it looks for postgresql instead of electron). So it is a run-time bug (eselect is running).
