Description Didier Conchaudron 2005-04-09 01:41:17 UTC 
I run 2.6.7-hardened-r9 and each time I use Gzip I got this message, for example:
# emerge vim

[...]

>>> Unpacking vim-6.3-lang.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/vim-core-6.3.068/work
gzip: error while loading shared libraries: cannot make segment writable for relocation: Permission denied
tar: Child returned status 127
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

!!! ERROR: app-editors/vim-core-6.3.068 failed.
!!! Function unpack, Line 375, Exitcode 2
!!! failure unpacking vim-6.3-lang.tar.gz

I got the same problem at boot while gentoo is loading keymap...so it's a bit of a problem :-/

Reproducible: Always

Maybe the hardened kernel is responsible of this problem.

user error

You either enabled PAX_NOELFRELOCS in your kernel or did not enable the pic USE flag on gzip.

ok in fact you're right solar, it was me :-/

this bug can be close now.
