Hi Amadio, The root ebuild is not in a good shape in that /usr/lib/root has a couple of directories underneath that should go to /. For example, /usr/lib64/root/6.14/etc and /usr/lib64/root/6.14/share. That makes relevant files hard to find and causes surprises to users. Benda
Hi Benda, I am aware of it. See slide 18 of the presentation below :-) https://indico.cern.ch/event/697389/contributions/3062044/attachments/1714186/2764745/Evolution_of_ROOTs_CMake_Build_System.pdf We have some issues that I need to fix first before updating the package in Gentoo, but this is high in my priority list. https://sft.its.cern.ch/jira/browse/ROOT-9569 https://sft.its.cern.ch/jira/browse/ROOT-9403 ROOT installs too many things into /etc if we install it into /usr, so I thought it would be better to install into some other prefix (similar to dev-lang/R) while I work on fixing these issues upstream.

Thanks, hope you guys can achieve these goals soon. Yours, Benda

sci-physics/root-6.28.00 and above are using standard install locations.
Thanks Amadio!
