Description Muelli 2008-09-24 13:55:51 UTC

After emerge jmeter, I can't start it because it didn't install anything in my $PATH. Instead, it wrote everythin to /opt/jmeter/ which is fine with me, but I expected at least a symlink in /usr/bin/ to be able to start jmeter easily.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge jmeter
2. which jemeter



Actual Results:  
which: no jmeter in (/home/muelli/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.1.2:/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03/bin:/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03/jre/bin:/usr/kde/3.5/bin:/usr/qt/3/bin:/usr/lib/subversion/bin:/usr/games/bin:/opt/vmware/workstation/bin)


Expected Results:  
A jmeter symlink in my PATH

Maybe it should simply install an env.d file to extend PATH.

Comment 2 Muelli 2008-09-24 16:04:15 UTC

Maybe that's a cleaner approach. But I wouldn't be able to use jmeter out of my terminals, I've already opened.

This bug applies to -r4 as well.
