On my system when merging libusb-0.1.10a, there is a portage access violation. It occurs when the ebuild is calling libtoolize. The problem can be fixed by changing the line in the ebuild from 'libtoolize --force' to 'libtoolize --copy --force' It manifests itself as follows: >>> emerge (1 of 6) dev-libs/libusb-0.1.10a to / >>> md5 files ;-) libusb-0.1.10a.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) libusb-0.1.7-r1.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) libusb-0.1.8.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-libusb-0.1.10a >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-libusb-0.1.7-r1 >>> md5 files ;-) files/libusb-0.1.8-amd64-fPIC.patch >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-libusb-0.1.8 >>> md5 src_uri ;-) libusb-0.1.10a.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking libusb-0.1.10a.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/libusb-0.1.10a/work >>> Source unpacked. * econf: updating libusb-0.1.10a/config.sub with /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.sub ACCESS DENIED open_wr: /var/tmp/portage/libusb-0.1.10a/work/libusb-0.1.10a/config.sub cp: cannot create regular file `/var/tmp/portage/libusb-0.1.10a/work/libusb-0.1.10a/config.sub': Permission denied ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --enable-build-docs --disable-debug <snip> Making all in doc make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/libusb-0.1.10a/work/libusb-0.1.10a/doc' rm -rf html mkdir html jade -t sgml -d ./website.dsl\#html ./manual.sgml make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/libusb-0.1.10a/work/libusb-0.1.10a/doc' make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/libusb-0.1.10a/work/libusb-0.1.10a' --------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY --------------------------- LOG FILE = "/tmp/sandbox-dev-libs_-_libusb-0.1.10a-23719.log" open_wr: /var/tmp/portage/libusb-0.1.10a/work/libusb-0.1.10a/config.sub (symlink to /usr/share/libtool/config.sub) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge libusb Actual Results: Libusb fails to emerge with the above access violation.

seems to indicate that for some reason therei sa symlink to /usr/share/gnuconfig in the tarball, but that doesn't exist. can you run: emerge -v libusb 2>&1 |tee /tmp/libusb.log and then attach /tmp/libusb.log to this bug?
no, I can't. I've since upgraded my entire toolchain whilst migrating my profile from 2004.3, to 2005.0. (emerge -u system, gcc, et al.) Since then I can no longer replicate the problem.
well, closing this until someone else sees it so we can debug it.
