I'm not sure what you consider the "normal places". The myhtv manual
builds result in the binaries, etc. being placed into /usr/local/bin.
Most rpm or ebuilds I've seen place the binaries, etc. into /usr/bin.

I've seen several ebuilds floating around. Search this list to find
examples. I believe the ebuild available at
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66337 is the one that most
gentoo users are using.

I took a whack at creating my own ebuilds based on the work above,
which better fits my needs. Here are my ebuilds if you want to play
with them:

http://threeputt.org/ebuilds/mythtv-0.17_pre.ebuild
http://threeputt.org/ebuilds/mythtv-plugins-0.17_pre.ebuild
http://threeputt.org/ebuilds/mythweb-0.17_pre.ebuild

I run a combined frontend/backend system, so my preference was to have
as few ebuilds as possible, so the mythtv ebuild has what people
normally break up into backend/frontend builds and the mythtv-plugins
has all of the standard myth plugins, plus nuvexport. The mythweb
ebuild, obviously only has the mythweb stuff... :)

These ebuilds are a work in progress, so if you find any problems, I'd
appreciate you letting me know.

Thanks,
