When I recently emerged amaroK 1.2.3, I noticed that most of it gets installed as if / was the prefix, i.e. files are being copied to /bin, /lib/kde3 and /share. I need to move those files to the /usr prefix to make amaroK work. Without it, the player doesn't run, since it can't find its sound plugins. Suprisingly, I remember emerging this version earlier with no such oddities occurring. I can't say I've been doing any changes which could bring about this effect. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =amarok-1.2.3 2. try to run amarok (skip the first0run wizard, if you need to) Actual Results: The player installs in the wrong prefix. After executing amarok, the player will sooner or later report: "amaroK could not find any sound-engine plugins. It is likely that amaroK is installed under the wrong prefix, please fix your installation using: $ cd /path/to/amarok/source-code/ $ su -c "make uninstall" $ ./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix` && su -c "make install" $ kbuildsycoca $ amarok" Expected Results: The player should install in the /usr prefix, as it's supposed to. The version of kdelibs I use is 3.3.2-r7.

Fixed. After deleting /etc/env.d/47kdepaths-3.3.2 and reemerging several components and much to my surprise, the problem disappeared. I don't exactly now how, though.
