Octave seems to finish its build. The last lines are: mkdir: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public mkdir: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public/cm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- but it doesn't install. Going to the build dir (for me at /usr/src/portage/octave-2.1.36/work/octave-2.1.36) and typing make install installs it.
Will investiage and tweak, but probably not bump port revision.
Ok, basically this means that you haven't used xdvi before, so it attempts to generate the fonts. This takes place during the install phase, when the ebuild is sandboxed. I will try to move the bits around...
Ok, fixed in -r1.
