This is kind of a lame bug report, but hopefully it will make some sense to someone... Had an error running emacs, it couldn't find libXm.so.3, so based on previous experience with this, I tried re-emerging emacs, and it failed because it couldn't find files in /usr/include/Xm Looking there, I saw that /usr/include/Xm was a directory containing a single link: Xm -> /usr/include/openmotif-2.2/Xm (turned out the same was true for /usr/include/{uil,Mrm} ) re-emergine openmotif-2.2.3-r4 seemed to work OK, although in the clean step, it had some odd messages: ... --- !targe sym /usr/lib/openmotif-2.2/libMrm.so.3 --- !targe sym /usr/lib/openmotif-2.2/libMrm.so >>> original instance of package unmerged safely. * /usr/bin/motif-config: Installing Profile: openmotif-2.2 rm: cannot remove `/usr/include/Mrm': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/usr/include/Xm': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/usr/include/uil': Is a directory ln: `/usr/include/Mrm/Mrm': File exists ln: `/usr/include/Xm/Xm': File exists ln: `/usr/include/uil/uil': File exists * /usr/bin/motif-config: New default Profile is: openmotif-2.2 >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... ... so, I ran 'motif-config --uninstall openmotif-2.2', manually removed /usr/include/{Xm,uil,Mrm} and ran 'motif-config --install openmotif-2.2', which seemed to clear things up. Could now emerge emacs, and run it thereafter. Looks like at some point /usr/include/Xm was a real directory, and motif-config (or someone else) tried 'ln -s /usr/include/openmotif-2.2/Xm /usr/include/Xm', which resulted in the link in the directory, not *as* the directory. Just a guess tho... By the way, 'motif-config -I' returns '/usr/lib/openmotif-2.2/' because the script calls get_lib_path instead of get_inc_path (x11-libs/motif-config-0.3). Not sure if anyone is using this or not.
i don't know why /usr/include/Xm remainded on your installation, it shouldn't. Thx for pointing out the motif-config bug, i fixed it.
This just happened again on another machine. It looks like openmotif-2.2.3 puts its files directly into (and creates) /usr/include/Xm, etc, and updating to the slotted openmotif-2.2.3-r5 runs motif-config, which would then do the wrong thing creating links. I will try to verify this on a third machine that I think I can get to reproduce this and capture state through the various stages...
Removing this link breaks compiling Emacs though. It looks in /usr/include/Xm for includes when it compiles using the motif tookit. See bug 84591
but when motif-config is run the files of the old motif version, also /usr/include/Xm, shouldn't be there anylonger
I've posted a bug for Grace (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84826). It seems is not grace broken or openmotif but motif-config because Grace compiles with lesstif also, but I couldn't make it work with it. I've unmerged lesstif and applyed the workaround described here: "I ran 'motif-config --uninstall openmotif-2.2', manually removed /usr/include/{Xm,uil,Mrm} and ran 'motif-config --install openmotif-2.2'" Now emerging grace works.
> files of the old motif version, also /usr/include/Xm, shouldn't be there anylonger shouldn't be, but they are.

ok, this was caused by a incorrect slotmove line in profiles/update/1Q-2005, it should now be fixed
