Hi, I just installed screen on Gentoo-Prefix instance. I remember from screen mailing list that about 4.6.1 there were changes to how socket dirnames were determined, and maybe other changes related to this issue? Anyway, here is tail of when screen was installed. >>> Installing (1 of 1) app-misc/screen-4.6.2::gentoo /apps/gentoo/etc/timezone * >>> SetUID: [chmod go-r] /usr/bin/screen-4.6.2 ... [ ok ] * Some dangerous key bindings have been removed or changed to more safe values. * We enable some xterm hacks in our default screenrc, which might break some * applications. Please check /etc/screenrc for information on these changes. * chgrp failure ignored with unprivileged user: * chgrp root ${EPREFIX}/tmp/screen * ${EPREFIX}/bin/chgrp: changing group of '${EPREFIX}/tmp/screen': Operation not permitted * This revision changes the screen socket location to /apps/gentoo/tmp/screen rm: cannot remove '/apps/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/app-misc/screen-4.6.2/temp': Directory not empty >>> Recording app-misc/screen in "world" favorites file...

Would it be at all viable for you to select the correct Product/Component yourself? Thanks.
did you emerge with USE=multiuser?
The error message says by itself > Directory '/apps/gentoo/tmp/screen' must have mode 777. `chmod 777 /apps/gentoo/tmp/screen` is what you need.
