Baselayout-1.8.6.13-r1 fail to compile due to permission problems with /Dev/pts First got this error and checked my kernel config, didn't have /dev/pts support compiled in, but Unix98, so ran make menuconfig and added pts, re-compiled kernel, mounted /boot, copied new kernel in, unmounted /boot and restarted. Still same error. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. # emerge sync 2. # emerge -uD system 3.
