Long story short... bharring@exodus bharring $ sudo emerge spambayes Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) net-mail/spambayes-1.0_beta1 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) spambayes-1.0b1.1.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking spambayes-1.0b1.1.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/spambayes-1.0_beta1/work >>> Source unpacked. running build running build_py creating build error: could not create 'build': Permission denied !!! ERROR: net-mail/spambayes-1.0_beta1 failed. !!! Function distutils_src_compile, Line 38, Exitcode 1 !!! compilation failed spambaye's setup.py lacks support for a build option, and since no src_compile defined in the ebuild distutils_src_compile is defaulted to (which automatically tries setup.py build || die) Maybe the distutils eclass changed on ya? Either way, fix is straight forward- just define a dummy src_compile. Might be useful to add an variable to distutils for switching on/off automatically attempting compilation, although not sure who reigns lord supreme over distutils.eclass...
Hmm. slightly off in my description there :) spambaye's setup.py is attempting to build, although I have no clue how it's attempting to do the build/installation (not familiar w/ distutils module).
please try _rc1
Also, see bug 67227, same problem with rc1, with solution.
noone reopened it so i close the bug
