The ebuild seems to compile OK, but when it comes to installing the results prior to a merge into the target system something breaks. Looking at the work directory, the ../lyx-1.3.3/image/usr/share/lyx/xfonts directory does not appear to have been created earlier in the install script. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge app-office/lyx-1.3.3 2. 3.

/bin/sh ../config/mkinstalldirs /tmp//portage/lyx-1.3.3/image//usr/share/lyx/xfonts ; \ should definitely make the install directory and it seems to work fine for me. following the install-xfonts target i cant see anything wrong. could you remerge with -j1 and we might be able to see exactly what's causing the error ? also, what version of automake are you using ?
reporter ping. can you also merge with MAKEOPTS="-j1" and provide a build log? thanks
Created attachment 20248 [details] emerge log for lyx-1.3.3
Do you have the same error with recently committed lynx-1.3.4? Also, do you mount /tmp or /var/tmp with noexec option? If so, I guess it may cause an error like this.
emerge for lyx-1.3.4 merges OK, and seems to work as well.
alright, I mark the bug as WORKSFORME because I never have this problem and now you don't have it with 1.3.4. As I see your log, the directory should be created and I don't understand why it failed... (So there isn't much that we can do for it) Please reopen this bug if you happen to have the same bug in the future release.
