After installing xprint 008-r2 it says that a user have to add export XPSERVERLIST="`/bin/sh /etc/init.d/xprint get_xpserverlist`" to his .xinitrc but the xprint script requires write access to the directory /var/lib/init.d or else it will fail. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: $ /etc/init.d/xprint get_xpserverlist Actual Results: /sbin/runscript.sh: line 386: /var/lib/init.d/xprint-18399: Permission denied * ERROR: "/etc/init.d/xprint" has syntax errors in it; not executing... Expected Results: $ /etc/init.d/xprint get_xpserverlist :64 I solved the problem for me this way: chown root:users /var/lib/init.d chmod 775 /var/lib/init.d # emerge info Portage 2.0.49-r20 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.2, glibc-2.3.2-r9, 2.6.1-gentoo) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.1-gentoo i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.10p1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /opt/tomcat/conf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.inode.at/ ftp://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/pub/gentoo/ http://ftp.gentoo.skynet.be/pub/gentoo/ http://gentoo.mirror.sdv.fr http://www.die.unipd.it/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo-sources/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="S3TC X aalib acl acpi acpi4linux alsa also apache2 arts autofs avi berkdb bonobo cdr clanJavaScript clanVoice crypt cups dga directfb dvd encode esd evo fbcon foomaticdb gd gdbm gif gnome gpm gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile hbci imap imlib imlib2 ipv6 java javascript jpeg kde ldap libg++ libwww lirc mad maildir memlimit mikmod mmx motif mozcalendar mozilla mozp3p mozsvg mozxmlterm mpeg mysql ncurses nls nptl oggvorbis opengl oss pam pcmcia pdflib perl pic png pnp ppds python qt quicktime readline samba sdl sis slang spell sse ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex tiff transcode truetype unicode usb x86 xinerama xml xml2 xmms xv xvid zlib"
export XPSERVERLIST="`/bin/sh /etc/init.d/xprint get_xpserverlist`" also won't work it should be export XPSERVERLIST="`/bin/sh /usr/sbin/xprint get_xpserverlist`" or export XPSERVERLIST="`/usr/sbin/xprint get_xpserverlist`"
thx for pointing that out, fixed :)
