distcc "very suddenly" started failing on me. It is trying to create the directory /root/.distcc. gcc -DHAS_SSL -DHAS_PGSQL -I/usr/include/postgresql -I/usr/include/sasl -DUSE_SASL_AUTH -DHAS_MYSQL -I/usr/include/mysql -DHAS_LDAP -DHAS_PCRE -march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -I. -I../../include -DLINUX2 -c sent.c distcc[10335] (dcc_mkdir) ERROR: mkdir /root/.distcc failed: Permission denied distcc[10335] (dcc_mkdir) ERROR: mkdir /root/.distcc failed: Permission denied distcc[10335] (dcc_mkdir) ERROR: mkdir /root/.distcc failed: Permission denied distcc[10335] (dcc_build_somewhere) Warning: failed to distribute, running locally instead distcc[10335] (dcc_mkdir) ERROR: mkdir /root/.distcc failed: Permission denied distcc[10335] (dcc_lock_one) ERROR: failed to lock distcc[10335] (dcc_mkdir) ERROR: mkdir /root/.distcc failed: Permission denied distcc[10327] (dcc_mkdir) ERROR: mkdir /root/.distcc failed: Permission denied gcc -DHAS_SSL -DHAS_PGSQL -I/usr/include/postgresql -I/usr/include/sasl -DUSE_SASL_AUTH -DHAS_MYSQL -I/usr/include/mysql -DHAS_LDAP -DHAS_PCRE -march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -I. -I../../include -DLINUX2 -c smtp_stream.c distcc[10339] (dcc_mkdir) ERROR: mkdir /root/.distcc failed: Permission denied distcc[10339] (dcc_mkdir) ERROR: mkdir /root/.distcc failed: Permission denied distcc[10339] (dcc_mkdir) ERROR: mkdir /root/.distcc failed: Permission denied distcc[10339] (dcc_build_somewhere) Warning: failed to distribute, running locally instead distcc[10339] (dcc_mkdir) ERROR: mkdir /root/.distcc failed: Permission denied distcc[10339] (dcc_lock_one) ERROR: failed to lock Mark Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

I seem to be having this problem on all my systems. I'll try re-emerging distcc. Mark
setup DISTCC_DIR=${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/distcc in make.conf
Make sure DISTCC_TMPDIR is uncommented as well. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 28902 ***
A few questions: Does PORTAGE_TMPDIR need to be explicitly set or does it default to /var/tmp? Presumably it does since I set DISTCC_DIR=${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/distcc in make.conf and now I get: --QUOTE-- >>> Source unpacked. * Configuring GCC... *** This configuration is not supported in the following subdirectories: target-libffi target-boehm-gc target-zlib target-libjava zlib fastjar (Any other directories should still work fine.)

DISTCC_DIR is already set to /var/tmp/distcc in /etc/conf.d/distccd so I am not sure why I should set it in make.conf. And where does DISTCC_TMPDIR go? You say to uncomment it but I grep'd all the files in /etc for DISTCC_TMPDIR and it does not exist. Did you mean I am supposed to uncomment DISTCC_DIR in /etc/conf.d/distccd and add DISTCC_TMPDIR to make.conf? Mark
You may actually have to mkdir the .distcc. I've submitted a patch upstream to solve this. Hopefully in 2.11 it will be fixed. ;-)
OK, last note for posterity. On each of my hosts I: added DISTCC_DIR=/var/tmp/distcc to /etc/make.conf. created /var/tmp/distcc & chown'd it to distcc I did *not* touch the /etc/conf.d/distccd files on any of the hosts. All better. Thanks Lisa, Mark
