Description Karsten Schmiedecke 2008-05-23 11:09:52 UTC

when the compiled package is merged from sandbox, not all references to sandbox directories seem to be removed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge smlnj
2. grep portage /usr/bin/sml

Actual Results:  
BIN_DIR="/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/smlnj-110.67-r2/work/bin"

Expected Results:  
BIN_DIR="/usr/bin"

trying to install a package depending on smlnj failed:
./configure: SMLCM is /usr/bin/sml
./configure: line 120: /var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/smlnj-110.67-r2/work/bin/.arch-n-opsys: No such file or directory

'grep portage /usr/bin/sml' yields
BIN_DIR="/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/smlnj-110.67-r2/work/bin"

I simply sudoedited /usr/bin/sml to change that to BIN_DIR="/usr/bin" and now it works for me. ;)

I solved the issue of that wrong path by inserting SMLNJ_HOME=/usr into /usr/bin/sml. Consequently BIN_DIR gets set to ${SMLNJ_HOME}/bin.

It seems to me the bug is in SMLCM...

I don't know is there is actually an issue here or how to reproduce it.

This
 BIN_DIR="/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/smlnj-110.67-r2/work/bin"
is never used anymore AFAIK.
