Straw crashes upon startup, claiming it cannot find the straw library directory. Remerging straw doesn't help. Below is the traceback. $ straw Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/straw", line 28, in ? sys.path.insert(0, find_straw_lib()) File "/usr/bin/straw", line 26, in find_straw_lib raise "FileNotFoundError", "couldn't find straw library dir" FileNotFoundError: couldn't find straw library dir Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.3.5-20050130, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1, 2.6.11-gentoo-r9 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-gentoo-r9 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP Gentoo Base System version 1.6.12 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.5 [2.3.5 (#1, Apr 27 2005, 06:48:38)] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: [Not Present] sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.16 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fprefetch-loop-arrays -ftracer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fprefetch-loop-arrays -ftracer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow 3dnowext X acl acpi adns alsa apm avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bonobo bzlib calendar caps cddb cdr chroot clanJavaScript clanVoice crypt ctype cups curl curlwrappers dba dbm dbx dga divx4linux doc droproot dv eds emboss encode exif fam flac flatfile foomaticdb fs ftp gd gdbm gif gimp gimpprint gmail gmp gnome gnomedb gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile hal iconv ieee1394 imagemagick imap imlib inifile ipv6 jabber jp2 jpeg ladcca lcms libg++ libwww lzw mad maildir mbox md5sum mhash mikmod mime mmx mmx2 mng mozilla moznocompose moznoirc moznomail mozp3p mozsvg mp3 mpeg mpi music native ncurses network nls no_wxgtk1 nocd nomac ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pcntl pcre pdf pdflib png posix ppds python quicktime radeon readline recode rtc ruby sasl scanner sdl session sftplogging skey slang smime sockets speex spell sqlite sse ssl svg svga sysvipc tcltk tcpd tetex theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb userlocales v4l2 vorbis wifi win32codecs wmf wxwin xml xml2 xmlrpc xpm xsl xv xvid xvmc zlib video_cards_radeon userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS

Closing, as per foser's comments. All hail Blam!
