I build squid on my gentoo machine and try starting it and it gives me a signal 6 error. I checked the log files and found it was because cache directories werent created...supposed to be done under /var/cache/squid, I created the directories based on my mandrake install in the /var/cache/squid directory and then started the proxy server successfully. It is a trivial issue but I think it should be done in the install script. If it is not done that way for a specific reason please let me know.
I found the following code in the ebuild... shouldn't this work? pkg_postinst() { # This helps if you had it installed, but never _ran_ it. install -m0755 -o squid -g squid -d ${ROOT}/var/cache/squid install -m0755 -o squid -g squid -d ${ROOT}/var/log/squid }
I just emerged squid-2.4.6-r1.ebuild and it worked fine... It created all the directories it needed.
