Platform is Prefix Portage with gcc 4.2.4-r1 on SUSE 10 Enterprise. The following was obtained in the console log when trying to emerge sys-apps/most: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc /local/scratch/portage/sys-apps/most-5.0.0a/work/most-5.0.0a/src/objs/chkslang.o -o /local/scratch/portage/sys-apps/most-5.0.0a/work/most-5.0.0a/src/objs/chkslang cd /local/scratch/portage/sys-apps/most-5.0.0a/work/most-5.0.0a/src/objs; i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -c -O2 -pipe -Dunix -I/local/tmp/m/usr/include -DMOST_SYSTEM_INITFILE='"/local/tmp/m/etc/most.conf"' /local/scratch/portage/sys-apps/most-5.0.0a/work/most-5.0.0a/src/most.c i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: /local/scratch/portage/sys-apps/most-5.0.0a/work/most-5.0.0a/src/objs/chkslang.o: No such file or directory i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: no input files make[1]: *** [/local/scratch/portage/sys-apps/most-5.0.0a/work/most-5.0.0a/src/objs/chkslang] Error 1 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: Leaving directory `/local/scratch/portage/sys-apps/most-5.0.0a/work/most-5.0.0a/src' make: *** [all] Error 2 * ERROR: sys-apps/most-5.0.0a failed: * emake failed.

Today this works for me too. A bit of a mystery why I had the failure; I tried comparing the console output from emerging sys-libs/slang-2.1.4 on 2009-04-20 (when `emerge most' failed for me) and 2009-03-13 (previous successful emerge of "most"), but I didn't find any significant difference. I did not compare all ACCESS DENIED lines though. And, for all recent bootstrapped Prefix Portage trees that I have, including the one bootstrapped 2009-04-20, I can manually emerge most-5.0.0a. I will thus re-enable the line in my nightly script that does `emerge sys-apps/most' again.
please reopen if it still fails
