If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. --------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY --------------------------- LOG FILE = "/tmp/sandbox-dev-libs_-_pwlib-1.6.6-6375.log" mkdir: /usr/lib64/pwlib -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- aw@lintrix.net 2004-11-29 09:20:55 0000 I had the same problem and fixed it by editing the ebuild and putting addwrite "/usr/lib" as the top line of src_install() Installed and worked fine after that. mike.bonar@shaw.ca 2004-12-02 15:58:19 0000 I tried editing the ebuild too, but it didn't solve the problem for me. aw@lintrix.net 2004-12-03 09:10:14 0000 Your output does actually say "ACCESS DENIED mkdir: /usr/lib64/pwlib" to be honest I can't remember what mine did say now but only that it looked the same as yours. Perhaps though you should try adding addwrite "/usr/lib64" instead/aswell as only guessing here ;) blubb@gentoo.org 2004-12-03 09:16:30 0000 this is not what we want, because the ebuild is still putting stuff into /usr/lib, and on 64bit arches, /usr/lib should only contain 32bit-libs. addwrite is a nice workaround indeed, but it's not the proper solution aw@lintrix.net 2004-12-03 10:48:31 0000 Simon, Thanks for that comment, I didn't realise that. If I wanted to create a work around for this then what do you suggest should be the correct method? blubb@gentoo.org 2004-12-03 12:28:41 0000 just make a port-overlay, set the variable in make.conf and add addwrite /usr/lib64. geoff@wozniak.ca 2004-12-16 04:16:11 0000 I ran into the same problem while running 'emerge world --emptytree --deep --update', but for pwlib-1.6.3-r2.
