1 Some packages look for files in the wrong place, e.g. /usr/include/libxml
2 for files which gentoo puts in /usr/include/libxml2/libxml, and don't
3 have configure options to specify the correct path. One can fix this
4 either by patching Makefiles or by creating symlinks. I normally do
5 the latter. My question is: What should one do in an ebuild? Does
6 gentoo have a policy about how to fix these packages?
