awstats.pl needs a lib folder to work properly, but cannot find it when run via /usr/bin/awstats.pl symlink. Problem is on line 2163 of awstats.pl where a list of search directories is specified. I added the new install folder, and awstats now works. Mostly noticed this issue when cron ran awstats_updateall.pl, which refers to the /usr/bin link, therefore breaking. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install new version 2. Run awstats.pl with $ /usr/bin/awstats.pl Actual Results: Many messages like: Warning: Can't read file "browsers.pm" (browsers detection will not work correctly). Check if file is in "/usr/bin/lib" directory and is readable. Expected Results: Normal run.
I cannot reproduce this, can you please try without mucking up the files, and report what it does?
Created attachment 261536 [details] Testcase, fresh install on fairly stock server Here is a test on a fresh server, never had awstats before.
Thanks. Can you also please add an emerge --info? I can't reproduce on my production server (which is usually the guinea pig for awstats), but will set up a VM now to see if I can reproduce it.

In previous versions there were symlinks that allowed the stock awstats.pl to work. These are removed with the new version. # ls -l /usr/share/awstats/ total 12 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 47 Dec 3 22:55 htdocs -> /usr/share/webapps/awstats/7.0_p20100929/htdocs lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 62 Dec 3 22:55 lang -> /usr/share/webapps/awstats/7.0_p20100929/hostroot/cgi-bin/lang lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 61 Dec 3 22:55 lib -> /usr/share/webapps/awstats/7.0_p20100929/hostroot/cgi-bin/lib lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 65 Dec 3 22:55 plugins -> /usr/share/webapps/awstats/7.0_p20100929/hostroot/cgi-bin/plugins
as awstats.pl searches lib dir in "$DIR/lib" and "/usr/share/awstats/lib" (where $DIR will be "/usr/bin" in our case) i suggest to add dosym wwwroot/cgi-bin/lib usr/share/awstats/lib || die in src_install() this solved the problem on my server

Sorry for this coming so late but it's fixed as of 7.1-r1.
Despite the fixes for www-misc/awstats-7.0 and www-misc/awstats-7.1 I have the same exact problem when invoking the command "awstats_updateall.pl now": Warning: Can't read file "search_engines.pm" (search engines detection will not work correctly).
