The solution is either to rename the diff or use ${PF} instead of ${P} in line 30: patch -p0 < ${FILESDIR}/${PF}.diff j_r_fonseca@yahoo.co.uk 2002-05-23 07:08:43 0000 The ebuild still has some problems. It seems that "make install" attempts to write outside the sandbox: /bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /etc/sound/events /bin/install -c -m 644 ./balsa.soundlist /etc/sound/events/balsa.soundlist ACCESS DENIED unlink: /etc/sound/events/balsa.soundlist /bin/install: cannot remove `/etc/sound/events/balsa.soundlist': Permission denied /bin/install -c -m 644 ./email.soundlist /etc/sound/events/email.soundlist ACCESS DENIED unlink: /etc/sound/events/email.soundlist /bin/install: cannot remove `/etc/sound/events/email.soundlist': Permission denied make[2]: *** [install-soundlistDATA] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/balsa-1.3.5-r1/work/balsa-1.3.5/sounds' make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/balsa-1.3.5-r1/work/balsa-1.3.5/sounds' make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 !!!
