A similar error happens if I try to rebuild the version I already have: perl-5.10.1. Let me know if you want me to post the output of that. emerge --info Portage 2.1.8.3 (default/linux/amd64/10.0, gcc-4.4.4, glibc-2.11.2-r0, 2.6.34-gentoo-r2 x86_64)

Configure: line 3089: /usr/lib64/portage/bin/ebuild-helpers/sed: Permission denied What is /usr/lib64/portage/bin/ebuild-helpers/sed ?
$ ls -l /usr/lib64/portage/bin/ebuild-helpers/sed -rwx------ 1 root root 616 Jun 2 01:47 /usr/lib64/portage/bin/ebuild-helpers/sed $ file /usr/lib64/portage/bin/ebuild-helpers/sed /usr/lib64/portage/bin/ebuild-helpers/sed: regular file, no read permission $ sudo file /usr/lib64/portage/bin/ebuild-helpers/sed /usr/lib64/portage/bin/ebuild-helpers/sed: Bourne-Again shell script text executable
(In reply to comment #5) > $ sudo file /usr/lib64/portage/bin/ebuild-helpers/sed > /usr/lib64/portage/bin/ebuild-helpers/sed: Bourne-Again shell script text > executable I am sure that portage never installed this ebuild-helper. I guess this breaks your perl.
Well, I have no idea what installed it, or what a build helper is. Is there a proper way to fix this problem on my end? Thanks :)
`qfiĺe /usr/lib64/portage/bin/ebuild-helpers/sed` `qfiĺe /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild-helpers/sed` (qfile from app-portage/portage-utils) should show you which package installed this file (if it was installed by an ebuild). Then have a look at the script. What does it do? Are there more scripts in ebuild-helpers/ not installed by portage?
There seem to be no other scripts not installed by portage or with strange permissions like this one. There is another script there called dosed. I assume that sed is just some old file somehow left over from a previous portage version. I deleted it and perl builds just fine. Thank you for your help and quick responses!
