Description Howard 2005-04-04 08:31:20 UTC 
When I tried to emerge dev-libs/libmimedir (in the process of emerging synce-kde) it replaced the symlink pointing /usr/lib64 to /usr/lib with a file containing gibberish.  This prevents gcc from working properly.  The actual compile itself seems to work properly. I copied libmimedir.a to /usr/lib and fixed the symlink and everything works fine now.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge dev-libs/libmimedir
2. Try and emerge anything else
Actual Results:  
I got an error claiming that gcc could not create any executables.

Expected Results:  
Installed correctly without borking my symlink and, in turn, gcc.

I know that amd64 is not listed as a supported architechture in the ebuild, but
aside from the system breaking during install, the library itself works without
problems.
Comment 1 Danny van Dyk (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-09 16:42:43 UTC 
Changed 'dodir /usr/lib' to 'dodir /usr/$(get_libdir)'. Marked ~amd64 as well.
FIXED.
