after you emerge canna, do you have the following?

/usr/lib/libcanna16.so -> libcanna16.so.1.0
/usr/lib/libcanna16.so.1 -> libcanna16.so.1.0
/usr/lib/libcanna16.so.1.0

weird. it should be dying, according to the ebuild:

make DESTDIR=${D} install || die "installation failed"

could you try the following:

ebuild canna-3.5_beta2.ebuild unpack > canna.unpack
ebuild canna-3.5_beta2.ebuild install > canna.install
ebuild canna-3.5_beta2.ebuild merge > canna.merge

and likewise with the kinput2 ebuild, then mail me the resulting
*.unpack, *.install, *.merge files?

delete /var/tmp/portage/* before you do this.

thanks, ryan
