1 I found a bit of a kludge that seems to temporarily fix the problem
2 without modifying the standard OS X environment. I added the
3 following to my ~/.bashrc
4
5 > # if we are in the prefixed gentoo
6 > if `echo $SHELL|grep Gentoo 1>/dev/null 2>&1` ; then
7 > # source prefixed profile
8 > source ${HOME}/Library/Gentoo/etc/profile
9 > # fix color ls
10 > alias ls='ls --color'
11 > # disable bold in PS1
12 > PS1=`echo $PS1|sed s/01\;/00\;/g`
13 > PS1=$PS1' '
14 > export PS1
15 > fi

17 But this is not a proper fix. I tried compiling bash a few times with
18 different configure options. Specifically I tried
19
20 > ./configure --prefix=/Users/wilson/Library/Gentoo --sysconfdir=/
21 > Users/wilson/Library/Gentoo/etc
22
23 but this bash still sourced /etc/profile. The configure script
24 documents the --sysconfdir option
25
26 > $ ./configure --help|grep sysconf
27 > --sysconfdir=DIR read-only single-machine data [PREFIX/etc]
28
29 I don't understand why this option has no effect (or why the prefix
30 option doesn't do the same as is implied by the [PREFIX/etc].
