I just re-emerged metakit-2.4.9.2-r1 on my system which now has python-2.3-r5
installed and it emerged just fine.

I looked over the emerge output with the error and compared it to mine and it
looks like the command line was truncated in the bug reporters case.

The correct line is as follows:

/bin/install -c Mk4py.so
/var/tmp/portage/metakit-2.4.9.2-r1/image//usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/Mk4py.so

Perhaps there was a different reason for the failure than the metakit ebiuld.

What is the output at the start of emerging metakit.   Namely what is it
detecting for your python install?

e.g. Here is mine:

big_squirt brian # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge  metakit

checking for Python configuration... /usr/include/python2.2 and
/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages



Is it detecting both directories?

Sorry for my earlier ramblings, I'm overtired.  I only have python-2.2.3-r5
installed.  My brain only saw 2.3.   Does python 2.3 not have a site-packages
directory installed and registered?

Fixed in CVS

This bug is still present in stable.  Please consider getting the fix into
stable.

Actually... looks like it's in ~x86 as well... dev-db/metakit-2.4.9.3 and
metakit-2.4.9.2-r1 both trigger this problem:

/bin/install -c .libs/libmk4.a
/usr/tmp/portage/metakit-2.4.9.3/image//usr/lib/libmk4.a
ranlib /usr/tmp/portage/metakit-2.4.9.3/image//usr/lib/libmk4.a
chmod 644 /usr/tmp/portage/metakit-2.4.9.3/image//usr/lib/libmk4.a

/bin/install: cannot create regular file

make: *** [install-python] Error 1

!!! ERROR: dev-db/metakit-2.4.9.3 failed.
!!! Function src_install, Line 43, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)

Similar for 2.4.9.2-r1.

Oddly, /usr/tmp/portage/metakit-2.4.9.3/image/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages
exists.

Actually, dev-lang/python-2.2 was re-emerged as part of a revdep-rebuild I did
for openssl-0.9.7.  Gonna re-emerge 2.3 which should fix it.

I had the same error. I re-emerged python and then re-emerged metakit and it
worked fine.

emerging metakit failed with:
Python.h - no such file or directory

i linked /usr/include/python2.3 to python2.2 which fixed this.

any other/better solutions for this? seems that configure didn't detect the
right python version (but only got 2.3 installed?)

got no problems with the install...
