Sorry, problem resolved by MAKEOPTS="-j1". Thanks.

[Comment 6 Garri 2011-05-25 10:39:56 UTC]

Analyze of other bugs suggests what we have to consider this report as bug. Therefore status changed again.

[Comment 7 Zeev Tarantov 2011-05-25 11:30:49 UTC]

Same problem for me, resolved by MAKEOPTS="-j1"

[Comment 8 Neil 2011-05-25 13:38:21 UTC]

I too am having problems updating identical to those in the above attached build.log.

Within the build directory the only place npviewer.bin exists is under work...

# cd /var/tmp/portage/www-plugins/nspluginwrapper-1.4.0-r1/
# find -name npviewer.bin
./work/nspluginwrapper-1.4.0/npviewer.bin

[Comment 9 Garri 2011-05-25 14:01:34 UTC]

It seems like script is trying to install npviewer.bin to folder '/var/tmp/portage/www-plugins/nspluginwrapper-1.4.0-r1/image/usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/' before folder creation.

updated parallel make patch

At least for me it now works with MAKEOPTS="-j3". It may be possible that someone with more jobs could still have problems.

[Comment 11 Garri 2011-05-25 16:35:04 UTC]

Works for me with MAKEOPTS="-j5".

[Comment 12 Henrique Dias 2011-05-25 19:07:58 UTC]

Very strange, works for me with MAKEOPTS="-j1", but not work with my pervious option MAKEOPTS="-j3".

Is that with the updated patch that I attached in comment 10 or with what is originally in portage?

ebuild patch to use emake -j1 during install phase

This ebuild patch works around the problem in the same way as earlier versions, without modifying the Makefile.

It adds -j1 to the emake command in src_install().

[Comment 15 Patrick McLean 2011-05-26 15:22:03 UTC]

I have updated the patch to the one provided by Shannon in comment #10. Thanks.

Let me know if it is still breaking on some systems, I have tested it with -j2, -j3 and -j12 (the default on my system).

[Comment 16 Garri 2011-05-27 01:24:51 UTC]

Had the upstream developer been notified?

[Comment 17 Garri 2011-06-03 04:11:44 UTC]

Problem is fixed in upstream project.
