Emerge of kmplayer-0.7.3 fails with "no configure script found". It looks like this is because the bz2 file doesn't create the directory "/var/tmp/portage/kmplayer-0.7.3/work/kmplayer". When I look in "/var/tmp/portage/kmplayer-0.7.3/work/" all I find is the uncompressed tar file.

It works here. Are you sure the tar file is correct?
do other ebuilds work? a friend had the same problem, it was a broken sed (which always returned a segfault) -> ebuild.sh couldn't parse .tar.bz2 and only bunzip2ed the tarball. insert an 'echo $y' in /usr/sbin/ebuild.sh line 276. (after the "bz2)").
As hannes suggested I modified ebuild.sh as follows, bz2) echo "debug \$y:${y}" if [ "${y}" == "tar" ]; then tar xj --no-same-owner -f ${DISTDIR}/${x} || die "$myfail" On running it appears tha $y is completely empty at this stage. So i guess it may well be a sed bug
As for Pauls' comment I have extracted the tar file in /var/tmp/portage/kmplayer-0.7.3/work/ using "tar xf kmplayer-0.7.3.tar". That worked fine however emerge kmplayer still fails.
other ebuilds work? echo kmplayer-0.7.3.tar.bz2 | sed 's:.*\.\(tar\)\.[a-zA-Z0-9]*:\1:' should return 'tar'; export x='kmplayer-0.7.3.tar.bz2'; echo ${x##*.} should return 'bz2' please try recompiling sed.
Its sed thats the problem, stewart@orb stewart $ echo $x | sed 's:.*\.\(tar\)\.[a-zA-Z0-9]*:\1:' Segmentation fault Problem is I can't run emerge sed even if a force $y="tar" because the configure script dies. I guess I must have updated to a buggy sed when I emerged world last night. Unless anyone has a better suggestion I'll just find a compiled working sed somewhere and use that
Got hold of a working sed then did "emerge sed". Everything working now :). I guess that my sed binary must have got corrupted somehow. Thanks for your help
you're welcome. marking as fixed.
