If you have PORTAGE_TMPDIR != /var/tmp you get this when trying to merge emacs. Shouldn't it always be ok to write to /var/tmp? --------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY ---------------------------LOG FILE = "/tmp/sandbox-emacs-21.1-r1-19540.log" open_wr: /var/tmp/conftest9012345 open_wr: /var/tmp/conftest9012346 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
