Description Tim Strong 2007-05-01 16:27:38 UTC
dev-ruby/mysql-ruby-2.7.3 seems to have a hardcoded /bin/install used to install after building.  Because the recent coreutils update moves 'install' to /usr/bin/install, the installation fails.  The exact error message is posted below.  This has been tested across a number of server and desktop machines and fails on all.

>>> Install mysql-ruby-2.7.3 into /opt/gentoo/tmp/portage/dev-ruby/mysql-ruby-2.7.3/image/ category dev-ruby
mkdir -p /opt/gentoo/tmp/portage/dev-ruby/mysql-ruby-2.7.3/image//usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux
/bin/install -c -m 0755 mysql.so /opt/gentoo/tmp/portage/dev-ruby/mysql-ruby-2.7.3/image//usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux
make: /bin/install: Command not found
make: *** [/opt/gentoo/tmp/portage/dev-ruby/mysql-ruby-2.7.3/image//usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux/mysql.so] Error 127

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.'emerge mysql-ruby'
2. Configure and build complete successfully
3. Install crashes
