Description Michal Maruska 2003-02-11 16:27:45 UTC 
in function src_compile  the line: 
make OPTIMIZE="${CFLAGS}" LDFLAGS='-L ../sharedlib' demoprogs || die

causes command:    chown root plane   (and probably others too). but AFAIK, portage 2.0.47 runs  src_compile as user  portage.  Therefore the ebuild fails. Removing that line (which probably builds only demo programs) the emerge  passes  ok.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge   portage-2.0.47
2. install the portage  group & user
3.  emerge svgalib-1.4.3-r4

svgalib-1.9.17-r1  ebuild  doesn't have this problem.

i dont see this so much as being a svgalib bug as a portage bug ... i know of a bunch of packages that run chown and check who the compile is running as

Nothing I can do about it. Selectable root/userpriv will come in later though.
