When I try to install locally the color package, there is a "color" added everywhere :
mkpkg -p color linux will result in
envinit: cannot open `/data/color/colorlib/zzsetenv.def' - lib is OK, not colorlib

Same thing if I use the redhat binary :
ERROR: Cannot open connected subprocess (colorsrc$x_color.e) - src is OK, not colorsrc

although the definition in the login.cl is
reset color = /data/color/
task $color.pkg = color$color.cl

anyone can help ?

Package environments are only picked up from either the hlib$extern.pkg file or the unix environment. Defining the package in your login.cl is sufficient to run it (so long as it is before the final 'keep' statement), however to build it you should do something like

unix%  setenv color /data/color/    # trailing '/' required
unix%  mkpkg -p color               # assuming you're in the color dir

Be sure the package is first configured for your architecture before building and note that the EXPORT task may already do what you want.
