Gentoo ebuild error (~amd64)

[juanluperez@…]

I have had to change your ebuild whith the line 'KEYWORDS="~x86 ~amd64"' because of it does not compile on amd64 arch. But there is another error:

>>> Source compiled.

The problem is in the way that portage is setting the install directory variables. While it's not technically "wrong", it makes things difficult if you aren't running running automake. I'm looking at implementing automake anyway, so I'm going to put this off until that's done. However, if anyone wants to send me a patch in the meantime, I'll include it.

Well, I took a stab at implementing automake (the results), and against hope, the tool is still as bad as it was the last time I tried to implement it a couple of years ago: bad design, bad interface, horrible documentation....but that's a rant for another time. In any case, I went ahead and implemented the variable that makes portage play nice with automake, so it should work now.
