Set PORT_LOGDIR to some convenient directory and run the emerge again. The output should mention the name of the build log. Attach that build log to this bug report.
Created attachment 293743 [details] Log file of the build Log attached.
I just hit this bug too. (René, for some reason your attachment is gzipped twice--a gzip of a gzip of the build log.) The details of your build look to be the same as mine: the install says "Running elibtoolize in: ghostscript-9.04/jbig2dec/" twice. The first time, some patches are successfully applied; the second time, the "We've already been run in this tree" message is generated (which is then repeated after the install completes, cryptic out of context). In my case at least, ghostscript-gpl-9.04-r4 appears to have installed properly and runs without error (well, other than not being able to find some font files, which I'm sure is unrelated to this bug) on an over-900-page document.

I agree, it installed fine, my report originally had a title just saying the message was unusual, and a lower priority, but it was changed (I also received a message that the log file type was changed, perhaps that was when it was compressed again).

Gack; I forgot to press "Save Changes" on comments. Take 2... I'm seeing the same warning message on on other builds dev-libs:nspr-4.8.9 www-client:firefox-7.0.1-r1 x11-libs:gdk-pixbuf-2.24.0-r1 The build logs are attached in my previous message Unusual stuff about my setup 1) I start off USE with "-*" and add in flags as necessary 2) I'm experimenting running busybox's mdev, and I've unmerged udev. So far so good.

I'm also getting this message on quite a lot of packages. Didn't try to put PORTAGE_TMPDIR on hd yet, but I like to think that 4GB of RAM plus 4GB of swap have to be sufficient for portage to manage.
(In reply to comment #7) > I'm also getting this message on quite a lot of packages. Then report those problems for each package, not here. Otherwise your comments are not going to be read by support people. > Didn't try to put > PORTAGE_TMPDIR on hd yet, but I like to think that 4GB of RAM plus 4GB of swap > have to be sufficient for portage to manage. Memory has nothing to do with the problem. The root of the problem is somebody making bad .ebuild files, the message is just a warning, the packages themselves should build and install correctly.

Thanks, fixed in -r5.
