Bug 96024 – sandbox-1.2.9 fails to build on AMD64

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Scott Robert Ladd 2005-06-13 18:21:54 UTC]

Updating sandbox to version 1.2.9 fails on a ~AMD64 installation, even when doing a "FEATURES=-sandbox emerge sandbox"

The errors occur during configuration.

you neglected to post `emerge info` and config.log

re-open when you've posted both
