I'm afraid I cannot reproduce the problem. Can you please - try again with MAKEOPTS set to -j1 - In case the above fails as well provide the full build.log file of that compile run. - Provide "emerge --info" as well
Oh right... where does your /usr/src/linux symlink point to it it's set?
thanks for the quick help - i found the error i set chmod go-rwx /usr/src and then the package didn't compile why does this happen? chmod go-rx /usr/src - doesn't compile chmod go+rw /usr/src - compiles

(In reply to puchu from comment #4) > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 29. Jul 12:06 /usr/src/linux -> linux-3.10.4 > > drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 29. Jul 12:24 /usr/src/linux-3.10.4 Any chance you set FEATURES="userpriv" in your make.conf file? That would make portage compile all packages as portage:portage user/group and would of course fail if /usr/src/linux-3.10.4 belongs root:root and others don't have persmission to chdir/write into that directory.
it seems usersandbox pulls it in as it is not set directly in make.conf thanks for your help
