When I emerge gnuplot on a text console, I get a sandbox access violation form the make process in the tutorials directory which executes the just built gnuplot to render some examples. On the text console gnuplot starts up and loads svgalib, but the sandbox forbids access to /dev/svga, so make fails. Strangely simply setting DEISPLAY=":0.0" did not solve the problem. Emerge in an X terminal, however, worked. Only bad for people who have no X at all... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Fixed in gnuplot-4.0-r1 by allowing access to /dev/svga. It's a bit of a hack, so if anyone knows a more secure way to do it, go ahead...
