I am trying a firsttime install stage 3. When trying to run emerge sys-kernel/gentoo-sources, I received this message: Access violation summary: LOGFILE="tmp/sandbox-gentoo-sources-2.4.19-r9-2885.log open-wr: /mnt/gentoo/poasWrru unlink: /mnt/gentoo/poasWrru gentoo 1.4rc1 cd downloaded stage3 athlon i686 t-bird 1.4rc1 I've replicated this two times, once while donwnloading kernel-sources for xfs and gentoo-sources. Both time I downloaded the same athlon tarball. Each time I ran it, it would give me a different path reference under /mnt/gentoo/, I'm guessing that poasWrru is a randomly generated word for a tmp directory. The problem seems to be that this command wants to look for /mnt/gentoo when the documentation at Step 14 assumes you are already in / I didn't change any of the USE settings (ie. just used the defaults).
did you chroot before trying to emerge that ? i really dont see why it should be saying /mnt/gentoo ...
perhaps the bug is incorrect. I exported the TMPDIR variable from code listing 8.1 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml It sounds like my mistake. When I didn't export the variable, the problem went away completely. I'm thinking that one of the scripts might have used the same variable name?
yes, that may cause issues
