Bugzilla Bug 28179

emerge exits with this error when I try to emerge media-libs/esdl-0.93.0526:

>>> Install esdl-0.93.0526 into /var/tmp/portage/esdl-0.93.0526/image/ category

Well, I cannot reproduce this problem, so I'll need more info.

But first, if you use NVidia drivers, you might try the following sequence first in order to emerge esdl:
opengl-update xfree
emerge esdl
opengl-update nvidia
Although your problem does not look like related, but its an easy thing to try..

Errors like that are sometimes triggered by "race conditions", so are you on smp box? Try setting MAKEOPTS to -j1. Try also removing "-pipe" from your C[XX]FLAGS if you have it.
In any case, I need the output of your emerge info in order to be able to do anything. Pleease provide it unless above tricks solve the problem for you (in which case I would like a report on what worked ;))..

Anyway, there is an update upstream, so I've made an ebuild for a new version.
Please test it (and see if this one works for you).

esdl-0.94.0125 is now in portage, please try that out and re-open if it doesnt
fix your problems :)
