[gentoo-dev] alsa-driver error

[Rigo Ketelings]

Got the error:

fi
install: cannot create regular file 
`/var/tmp/portage/alsa-driver-0.9.0_rc1-r3/image//etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound': 
No such file or directory
make: *** [install-scripts] Error 1

!!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.
!!! Function src_install, Line 3, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)

!!! emerge aborting on  
/usr/portage/media-sound/alsa-driver/alsa-driver-0.9.0_rc1-r3.ebuild .

To correct the error I:

* changed 'dodir /etc/init.d' to 'dodir /etc/rc.d/init.d'

Is this correct ?? (*like, yesterday I was playing with Debian, and suddenly I 
had the urge to.... *) I have actually have no idea what I'm doing (yet ;-)

Back to the manuals I guess ;-)

By the way, why isn't 'dodir' in the dev-docs on gentoo.org ?

That's weird; somehow alsa's installer wants to install the init
script in /etc/rc.d/init.d (the redhat's way) instead of /etc/init.d.
Dou you happen to have a directory /etc/rc.d on your system, and what
does it contain, and how did it get to be there?

Could you please open a bug report about this?  I won't have time to
look into it until the weekend, though.

Well, it would solve your problem in the meanwhile, but on the large
scale, this is not the right thing to do.

I just encountered the same prob. On my laptop exists a directory 
/etc/rc.d/init.d which belongs to the irda-utils. The install of alsa checks 
with an if-elseif-elseif for the existence of the directorys /sbin/init.d, 
/etc/rc.d/init.d and /etc/init.d in this order. And it fails because it tryes 
to install the alsasound startscript into /etc/rc.d/init.d.

I haven't opened a bug report, because to me it seems more like a bug in the 
irda-utils (which intalls itno the wrong init.d dir). And i'm not shure if 
irda-utils is the only package which causes this prob.

I very much agree.  Please file bug reports agains any ebuilds which
install into /etc/rc.d/init.d.

That said, I've added a hack to -r4 of alsa-driver to work around this
problem.

Found irda there also, but found jakarta there too :(

Any advice on the best way how to fix this ?
