Issues installing opam in gentoo-prefix

[Chobbes]

Having some problems installing this in a gentoo prefix.

I had to modify the cudf ebuild somewhat (getting duplicated parts of the prefix in these paths)

src_install() {
        export myocamldir=`ocamlc -where`                                                                                                                                                                           
        emake BINDIR="${D}" LIBDIR="${D}/usr/$(get_libdir)" C_LIB_DIR="${D}/c-lib/" OCAMLLIBDIR=${myocamldir#*$EXPREFIX}
        dodoc BUGS ChangeLog README TODO
}

Which got cudf to install, but now I'm having problems with opam itself:

Opam will be built WITH a built-in solver

Executables will be installed in /mnt/castor/seas_home/h/hobbes/gentoo/usr/bin
Manual pages will be installed in /mnt/castor/seas_home/h/hobbes/gentoo/usr/share/man

Any clue what to do?

[aballier]

your cudf change looks weird -- please post the entire log of what and how it fails (ideally in a new report so that it can be fixed independently)

the opam issue seems to be due to opam-state, what version do you have installed ?
