After downloading, kvim stops and waits for input with the following message: Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) app-editors/kvim-6.1.141 to / >>> md5 ;-) kvim-6.1.141.tar.bz2 >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking kvim-6.1.141.tar.bz2 can't find file to patch at input line 3 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? The text leading up to this was: -------------------------- |--- /var/tmp/portage/kvim-6.1.141/work/kvim-6.1.141/src/Makefile.orig 2002-10-01 16:54:21.000000000 +0200 |+++ /var/tmp/portage/kvim-6.1.141/work/kvim-6.1.141/src/Makefile 2002-10-18 02:22:52.000000000 +0200 -------------------------- File to patch: What do I need to type here? If I knew more about makefiles, I might be able to fix this myself, sorry! :(
BTW: once I tried to just hit enter, and it compiled and installed, but there were no executables anywhere to be found on the system.
ok, i modified the patch, please try an emerge sync; emerge kvim, this should work.
It did work, but I wish that someone would fix the sandbox violation error permanently. For some reason the system changes the permissions to /dev/pty/s* and this causes the *vim packages to not build until you set the permissions to ugo+rw manually. At least kvim is compiled and running now, thanks!
