nepenthes looks for the standard config file in "/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib/nepenthes --enable-capabilities". Guess this is resulting from the myconf variable passed to econf in the ebuild. Probably changing order of arguments will change this: local myconf="--localstatedir=/var/lib/nepenthes --enable-capabilities --sysconfdir=/etc" I explicitely put now config file in /etc/conf.d/nepenthes and nepenthes starts succesfully. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Compile nepenthes 2. Execute nepenthes 3. Watch it not finding config file Actual Results: nepenthes does not start: Nepenthes Version 0.2.2 Compiled on Linux/SPARC at Feb 3 2009 15:04:53 with g++ 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.1) Started on gandalf running Linux/sparc64 release 2.6.27-gentoo-r8 Unable to load configuration file "/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib/nepenthes --enable-capabilities/nepenthes/nepenthes.conf": No such file or directory Quit run is done -1 Expected Results: Starting successfully.

Nepenthes Version 0.2.2 Compiled on Linux/x86_64 at Mar 2 2009 07:10:52 with g++ 4.3.3 Started on localhost running Linux/x86_64 release 2.6.28 [ info mgr ] Loaded Nepenthes Configuration from "/etc/nepenthes/nepenthes.conf". I cannot reproduce your issue on ~amd64, so it seems to be platform- or configuration-specific.
@spark team, could you test if this issue happens(or not)?
1. it isn't keyworded on sparc and never was 2. it fails to build, bug #426482 3. this bug is 3 years old
(In reply to comment #3) > 1. it isn't keyworded on sparc and never was > 2. it fails to build, bug #426482 > 3. this bug is 3 years old Thanks for comments, Raúl and sorry for disturbing sparc team without checking package keywords. Let's summarize what we have now: 1. Bug #426482 is fixed; 2. This package is NOT keyworded on sparc, so it's correct build/work is NOT guaranteed in Gentoo. Dustin, if you want to change this situation, file a new bug with keywording request; 3. I can not reproduce this bug on my amd64 box, so i close this as WORKSFORME.
