I made an emerge system (new Gentoo) and it failed: /usr/bin/autoconf-2.13: line 144: configure: Permission denied !!! ERROR: sys-apps/ed-0.2-r4 failed. !!! Function src_unpack, Line 24, Exitcode 1 !!! autoconf failed I tried it on another system with the same results (this version of ed is installed on it :) I think the problem is with the configure file's permissions (r-xr-xr-x). I solved my problen with a little workaround, I've changed the 144th line of /usr/bin/autoconf-2.13 from exec 4> configure; chmod +x configure to exec chmod +w configure; 4> configure; chmod +x configure but I don't know is it an ed or an autoconf problem. I think autoconf-2.13 is old enough and I didn't get problems with another packages. It's my first reported bug, I couldn't find any reported bug of ed. If I've searched ed I got lot of errors, sys-apps/ed not found. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge ed 2. 3. Actual Results: /usr/bin/autoconf-2.13: line 144: configure: Permission denied !!! ERROR: sys-apps/ed-0.2-r4 failed. !!!

what is your umask set to, before you emerge? (just type umask on the console where the emerge failed)
porkoo ~ # umask 0022 porkoo ~ #
it's a bug in userpriv ... the configure script has perms of 555 in the tarball fixed in cvs
