Not /usr/local -- /usr/share. No distribution can touch /usr/local -- 
according to the LSB at least (I get grief over this for the PostgreSQL RPMs 
quite frequently, as they don't use /usr/local/pgsql like the standard source 
distribution wants).  But /usr/share/sword is where the RPMs for bibletime 
put things, and it works fine.

Interesting.  As I said, the RPMs use /usr/share/sword, and set that value in 
/etc/sword.conf as such:
[lowen@localhost lowen]$ cat /etc/sword.conf
[Install]
DataPath=/usr/share/sword
[lowen@localhost lowen]$

The RPMs build the sword libs statically at the moment -- is the gentoo ebuild 
requiring a preinstalled sword library?  Is that library configured 
differently?
