try with `emerge --noconfmem`

Sorry.

In ebuild :

src_compile() {
        use static && append-flags -static

        ./configure \
                --prefix="" \
                --sysconfdir=/var/lib \   <------------------ OK
                --mandir=/usr/share/man || die

        emake || die
}

I suggest to create on ebuild a dir /var/lib/dhcpd/.keep for conf directory.

And change this :

src_install() {
        einstall sbindir=${D}/sbin || die "Install failed"
        rmdir ${D}/etc/dhcpc   <--------------- change in rm -rf ${D}/etc
        if ! use build
        then
                dodoc AUTHORS ChangeLog NEWS README
        else
                rm -rf ${D}/usr/share
        fi
}

doesn't sound like a portage bug and I don't know if it is a bug at all.

[Comment 5 SpanKY 2004-11-03 19:22:14 UTC]

the directory is empty, no point in installing it

i switched the ./configure to use `econf` instead
