dev-util/libconf-0.42.10-r1 fails to emerge because the file /bin/install isn't found. I confirmed this with ls. However, an obvious and simple workaround was to whereis install and then make a soft link. Reproducible: Always Actual Results: refers to the incorrect location of install Expected Results: refer to the correct location of the install utility.
Could you paste the output that you have when trying to emerge it ?
I don't think there is an explicit call to /bin/install in the source
sounds simmilar to 159922, latest coreutils does not install /bin/install but /usr/bin/install.
If it's anything to do with a similar problem I had, it's the makefile. Go into the work directory and grep -R "/bin/install" . and see if the makefile contains a bad macro.

I have the same problem here with dev-ruby/sqlite-ruby-2.2.3-r1, no /bin/install, but a /usr/bin/install. a grep -R "/bin/install" in /var/tmp/portage/dev-ruby/sqlite-ruby-2.2.3-r1/ gives me this : beltegeuse sqlite-ruby-2.2.3-r1 # grep -R "/bin/install" . ./temp/build.log:/bin/install -c -m 0755 sqlite_api.so /var/tmp/portage/dev-ruby/sqlite-ruby-2.2.3-r1/image/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite-ruby-2.2.3/lib ./temp/build.log:make: /bin/install: Command not found ./temp/environment: if [ ! -x /bin/install -a -x /usr/bin/install ]; then ./temp/environment:CONFIG['INSTALL'] = '/usr/bin/install' ./image/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite-ruby-2.2.3/ext/Makefile:INSTALL = /bin/install -c ./image/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite-ruby-2.2.3/ext/gem_make.out:/bin/install -c -m 0755 sqlite_api.so /var/tmp/portage/dev-ruby/sqlite-ruby-2.2.3-r1/image/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite-ruby-2.2.3/lib ./image/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite-ruby-2.2.3/ext/gem_make.out:make: /bin/install: Command not found It seems to be hardcoded here : ext/Makefile:INSTALL = /bin/install -c I don't know if it is a gem issue or not, so I posted here. here is the output of emerge. * checking sqlite-ruby-2.2.3.gem ;-) ...
