Basically, when I try to emerge gnome, it requires libgnome - tries to compile it and fails. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge libgnome (I did an emerge gnome, which required this...) 2. 3. Actual Results: Here is the stderr output...I couldn't just cut and past, as I don't have a gui on that machine... /usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 81: /var/tmp/portage/libgnome-2.2.0.1/temp/elibtool.log: Permission denied /usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 81: /var/tmp/portage/libgnome-2.2.0.1/temp/elibtool.log: Permission denied /usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 81: /var/tmp/portage/libgnome-2.2.0.1/temp/elibtool.log: Permission denied /usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 81: /var/tmp/portage/libgnome-2.2.0.1/temp/elibtool.log: Permission denied configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.

I just installed 1.4rc3 w/ a stage1 tarball today. Here's the emerge info output... Another note..It would do the same thing without the alsa flag and without all the features turned on...

can you try and rebuild this package without FEATURES="userpriv usersandbox" and see? looks suspiciously like a userpriv bug.
Once I take out the userpriv and usersandbox, I don't get the permissions errors - like at the top of my stderr output...but it still fails to find the alsa lib. It seems as though it's looking for it in the wrong place.../var/tmp/portage. Could this be an ALSA bug??
libtool/alsa bug, appearantly... :/ difficult to say really, but can you try and update alsa lib to the latest rc7 release?
Well, let's see...I've updated libtool to 1.4.3, and I've tried alsa-lib/driver rc7. I also put keeptemp in FEATURES for good measure...since it seems to be looking for something in there. I get the same result...the strange thing, which leads me to believe that I may be doing something wrong is that even after I upgraded to alsa-rc7, it still have me the same error about rc6...I tried stuff like env-update, ldconfig, etc...No luck I'm sort of out of ideas...Do people usually build a system w/ the alsa flag from the start (after the install is complete...) or do they put that in later (after their desktop of choice is built?)
can you try getting rid of "noclean" and "noauto" in your FEATURES, and then emerge libtool alsa-lib and possibly esound as well? also have a look at /usr/lib/libesddsp.la and see if the path to libasound.la is correct.
Well, I've since redone my whole system, and it seems to have worked that bug out. I'm not quite sure what went on, but it's working now...Thanks for the help though.
not reproducable, closing.
