[gentoo-dev] ebuild problem

[gentoo-dev] ebuild problem

[Doug Shea]

    Hello. I'm trying to make a new .ebuild file for a package that I 
like to use under Linux (DVD::Rip), and I'm testing it on my machine, 
and it's giving me an error that I don't understand. The dependencies 
work, and it seems to finish the compile part okay, but it fails when 
installing into the image directory.
    The error is this:

ACCESS DENIED  open_wr:   /usr/share/man/man1/splitpipe.1
Installing /usr/share/man/man1/splitpipe.1
ACCESS DENIED  utime:     /usr/share/man/man1/splitpipe.1
ACCESS DENIED  chmod:     /usr/share/man/man1/splitpipe.1

    ...and there's a summary containing basically those three lines, at 
the end; no new information there.

    What can be causing this error, and how can I fix it? I'm guessing 
that the package that I'm trying to install is doing something wrong, 
but I don't want to go mucking around in that until I'm sure that's the 
right thing to do.
    Any help would be appreciated, especially pointers to TFM, if there 
is one I don't know about, other than the HOWTO link on the Gentoo 
homepage. Thanks!

The package is trying to put the manpages directly into your /usr tree instead of ${D}/usr.  Try adding --mandir=${D}/usr/share/man to your configure or make line.

[gentoo-dev] ebuild problem

[mschroer]

I am new to Gentoo and having trouble with an ebuild.  I put the latest 
tarball of anjuta-0.9.99.tar.gz in the distfile directory and built a 
new ebuild file from the anjuta-0.1.9.ebuild.  When I emerge, running as

The trick is that portage uses sandboxing. This means building is only allowed 
in /var/tmp/portage/<bla>

This means you must persuade anjuta to install in the destination root which 
is given in an ebuild by ${D}. This technique makes it a lot easier to track 
which files should become part of the package.

Oftern this persuading can be done with the DESTDIR variable, but sometimes 
further tricks are nescesary. I advise you to look at some ebuilds (look for 
PREFIX=${D}/usr/ ), and check the makefile of anjuta.

It would probably help if you ran the ebuild as root :)

Portage doesn't even try to run as non-root, he is just being sandboxed

[gentoo-dev] ebuild problem

Hello,

I'm trying to update BasiliskII. I got the source tarball and I've copied (and 
modified) the ebuild from basiliskII-0.9.0, but when I do "emerge 
basiliskII," I get this:

nbensa@venkman nbensa $ PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/home/nbensa/portage sudo emerge

Attached, the ebuild. Could someone please take a look and tell what's wrong?

Many thanks in advance,

Have you tried doing this directly as root instead of sudo?  I dimly
recall having trouble using sudo this way.

Also you could

    chmod a+r basiliskII-1.0.0.ebuild

That would probably do the trick.  The error message above clearly says
that Portage does not have permission to read the ebuild.

Yup. Same problem.

It seems that the .ebuild is the problem here but I can't find what's wrong. 
I've checked the tarball and is OK, I can 'tar jxf' as user and root.

Thanks,

I suspect the directories are owned by you and -rwx------ or something
like that.  Root can read the files, but the "portage" user can't, so it
breaks when portage transitions to the "portage" user.

chmod -R a+rX portage
