When i try to emerge new version of subversion (1.0.6-17851), it tries to access a file (/dev/random) that isn't in the sandbox. My workaround: during instalation of subversion enable FEATURES="-sandbox" feature in /etc/make.conf. emerge output: make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/subversion-1.0.6/work/subversion-1.0.6/subversion/bindings/java/javahl' --------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY --------------------------- LOG FILE = "/tmp/sandbox-dev-util_-_subversion-1.0.6-17851.log" open_wr: /dev/random open_wr: /dev/random open_wr: /dev/random open_wr: /dev/random open_wr: /dev/random open_wr: /dev/random open_wr: /dev/random open_wr: /dev/random -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

This is one of the reasons that jdk 1.5 is not yet supported. There are even bigger issues with it's tendency to not use compatibility mode by default (for sources)
