[gentoo-dev] Problem With TeX and opencm

[Mark Cox <coxhome@optushome.com.au>]

opencm (www.opencm.org) wants to generate ps documents from info files
when you tell it to compile. The problem is sandbox (I think it is this
that denies access to everything outside of the work dir..someone
correct if it isn't.) causes this to happen .
