Bug 5581 – ebuild of plotutils-2.4.1-r2 fails: access violation

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Christian V. J. Brüssow 2002-07-25 15:56:53 UTC]

Hello,

The compilation of plotutils-2.4.1-r2 runs fine, and without any errors, but the
installation fails, due to the following access violation:

/bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /usr/share/ode
mkdir /usr/share/ode
ACCESS DENIED  mkdir:     /usr/share/ode
mkdir: kann Verzeichnis

Hello,

The compilation of plotutils-2.4.1-r2 runs fine, and without any errors, but the
installation fails, due to the following access violation:

/bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /usr/share/ode
mkdir /usr/share/ode
ACCESS DENIED  mkdir:     /usr/share/ode
mkdir: kann Verzeichnis »»/usr/share/ode«« nicht anlegen: Keine Berechtigung

It looks as the ode installation ignores the 'prefix={D}/usr' from the ebuild.

This bug prevents the installation of gnuplot (I need plotutils support within
gnuplot).

Bye,
Christian

I have uploaded a revised ebuild which will be rsync'able whenever your mirror
updates itself.
Please do try it (emerge --clean rsync first :P) and let me know.
