• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Luis Miguens 2004-02-17 11:07:57 UTC]

Install the scilab (2.7-r2) with emerge scilab, and execute scilab in console, but error ocurried.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge scilab
2. scilab (in user mode)
3.

Actual Results:  
The error is:

luis@luchi:~$ scilab
line 1:
/tmp/portage/temp/portage/scilab-2.7-r2/image/usr/lib/scilab-2.7/pvm3/lib/pvmgetarch:
No existe el fichero o el directorio
line 130:
/tmp/portage/temp/portage/scilab-2.7-r2/image/usr/lib/scilab-2.7/bin/zterm: No
existe el fichero o el directorio

(No existe ... = Not found file or directory)


Expected Results:  
Not relevant (my opinion)

My setings in make.conf are: 
PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/tmp/portage/temp/ 
and auto-clean the temp when finish the task.

Created attachment 25783 [details, diff]
Patch to solve the problem

Is very probably the patch don't work in all machines (think the patch only
work with PORTAGE_TEMP=/tmp/portage/temp

That's strange, there's a line in the ebuild that serves exactly to correct that path:

grep -rle "${D}" * | xargs sed -i -e "s:${D}:/:g"

you can try to set
PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/tmp/portage/temp
without the last slash, maybe that makes the grep fail.

Yes works!
