This started to occur after recent upgrade of dev-apps/portage

This issue should not matter TOra at all.
It is a bug in =sys-apps/portage-2.2.18.
An it should appear not after TOra installation, but after upgrade portage to 2.2.18.

I've don't update TOra since 13.01.2015, but also see this issue on my workstation (for example on re-emerge of net-misc/freerdp).
On today's test re-emerge TOra I've seen the same issue (first described in bug #542796).

The bad substitution in NEEDED.ELF.2 comes from the DT_NEEDED sections of the ELF files installed by dev-db/tora-3.0.0_pre20140929. Something about the build system causes the DT_NEEDED sections to contain $$ORIGIN instead of $ORIGIN.

[Comment 3 Jacek 2015-04-26 04:24:53 UTC]

I've found something:

extlibs/trotl/src/CMakeLists.txt:SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH "$ORIGIN/instantclient/:$$ORIGIN/instantclient/")
and
src/CMakeLists.txt:SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH "$ORIGIN/:$$ORIGIN/")

[Comment 4 Jacek 2015-04-26 04:50:12 UTC]

I added 

    sed -i \
        -e '/$$ORIGIN/d' \
        extlibs/trotl/src/CMakeLists.txt || die "Removal of ORIGIN"
    sed -i \
        -e '/$$ORIGIN/d' \
        src/CMakeLists.txt || die "Removal of ORIGIN"


to ebuild and now is without any warning from portage. btw. $ORIGIN and $$ORIGIN are completely useless.

Created attachment 402070 [details, diff]
Use sed to remove $$ORIGIN in src_prepare

[Comment 6 Zac Medico 2015-04-26 18:01:23 UTC]

It's fixed in cvs now.
