Description Marnix Klooster 2008-05-27 05:04:42 UTC
After installation of cm3-bin-5.4.0, the binaries /usr/bin/m3build, /usr/bin/cm3, and /usr/bin/m3ship are installed, but starting one of those immediately results in the error message

    Fatal Error: unable to create directory: LINUXLIBC6: errno=13

and exit code 1.

From strace output I gather that these binaries try to create this directory in /usr/lib/cm3/bin.  However, the package has created six directories of the same name:

    /usr/lib/cm3/pkg/libm3/LINUXLIBC6
    /usr/lib/cm3/pkg/m3core/LINUXLIBC6
    /usr/lib/cm3/pkg/m3core/src/C/LINUXLIBC6
    /usr/lib/cm3/pkg/m3core/src/Csupport/LINUXLIBC6
    /usr/lib/cm3/pkg/m3core/src/runtime/LINUXLIBC6
    /usr/lib/cm3/pkg/m3gc-simple/LINUXLIBC6
    /usr/lib/cm3/pkg/m3gc-simple/src/runtime/LINUXLIBC6

So this seems to be a simple configuration problem.

I have not yet found a way to work around this.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =cm3-bin-5.4.0
2. /usr/bin/m3build


Actual Results:  
"Fatal Error: unable to create directory: LINUXLIBC6: errno=13" is printed, and exit code is 1.

Expected Results:  
Obviously, the binary should do some useful work. :-)

it's been a long time since i used/cared about m3 ... i tried to get into the development to address issues, but the build system is just a goddamn mess

if you have any ideas on how to fix this issue, feel free to post them ... otherwise we should just mask/punt this package
Comment 2 Chris 2008-07-24 08:05:10 UTC
This definitely appears to be a problem with permissions. Try doing chmod 777 on /usr/bin/cm3

Still working on it. I'll bet the resolution to this problem is so simple that we've just ignored it.

I would punt this as looks like no solution appeared :(
