Every time I try to emerge xen-tools the compilation fails with mkdir ACCESS DENIED errors and hangs. When I press enter it goes on one line and then the same thing happens with a different path and so on and so on. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge xen-tools 2. 3. Actual Results: ... ACCESS DENIED mkdir: /var/cache/fonts/tfm/adobe/times mkdir: cannot create directory `././var/cache/fonts/tfm/adobe/times': Permission denied mktextfm: mktexdir /var/cache/fonts/tfm/adobe/times failed. kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log. ...

+ 30 Jul 2008; Robert Buchholz <rbu@gentoo.org> ChangeLog: + Set VARTEXFONTS so LaTeX does not try to write out of the sandbox (bug #233120) Can you please "emerge --sync" and retry, then report back if it works now? Thank you for the bug report.
It exibits similar behaviour after an emerge --sync but without the access denied errors and when it reaches a certain point it hangs after each line unless I press enter all the time and then after doing that a few dozen times it doesn't get past the next one, pressing enter several times fails to proceed and control-C is wedged as well, so only a control-z followed by a kill manages to stop the stuck compile. I have attached the output of the first few lines where the problem occurs
Created attachment 161698 [details] hanging in the same places but without the Access Denied errors...
Created attachment 161700 [details] fuller output, manages to get past hanging if holding down enter... but errors out
Are you using tetex or texlive?

(In reply to comment #7) Same probleme while emerging xen-tools-4.0.0. fixed by setting use flag "-doc".
Xen 4.1 in tree. Please test with it and reopen if it doesnt work
