Description Steven Schwartfeger 2009-02-10 00:00:02 UTC 
With media-gfx/nvidia-cg-toolkit-2.1.0016, the install directory was changed from /usr to /opt/nvidia-cg-toolkit, see bug #255867; this makes other programs fail to find Cg by default, for example crystal space (installed as user in my home directory).

I realise there may be some policy which makes it impossible to change the install location back how it was, but is there some way to configure things so Cg is found with the system default include and link paths? Maybe with pkg-config or something in /etc/env.d, I don't know the most clean or approved way.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install media-gfx/nvidia-cg-toolkit-2.1.0016
2. Download an application that can use Cg, for example Crystal Space
3. Run ./configure

Actual Results:  
Cg is not found

Expected Results:  
Cg is found by default, as it used to

It also means that econf for dev-games/ogre-1.6.1 fails when the USE flag cg is enabled.
Comment 2 Frank Richter 2009-02-11 12:31:29 UTC 
As Cg is a library, you can't simply move it out of /usr without ensuring that it's headers and libs are found by 3rd party configure scripts and such.
