Description Curtis Stanford 2002-10-10 15:03:37 UTC

The vim-core ebuilds have a line:

addwrite /dev/pty/*

to fix a sandbox violation. This doesn't work if logged in remotely (I'm using
ssh) because we are then not using the /dev/pty devices but instead are using
the /dev/vc devices. Why is the VIM install dicking with the tty? Maybe that's
the real problem.

try adding rw permissions on the devices. chmod 666 /dev/vc, and try again please.

I'm having the same Access Violation emerging vim-core from an Xterm:

chmod:     /dev/pty/s1

Also tried adding the addwrite statement and chmodding /dev/pty, but didn't work
either. Can emerge from console.
