I experienced something vaguely similar while trying out dbmail on
Gentoo. I don't think this is the same as what you are talking about,
but just in case....

I was getting some linking errors because it was looking for files in
/var/tmp/portage. It turned out that the ebuild I was using was
mistakenly copying some temporary scripts that shouldn't be installed. I
fixed it by doing a make install.
