[gentoo-dev] /dev/port Permission denied

[gentoo-dev] /dev/port Permission denied

[Brian Jackson]

Whenever I try to run emerge I keep getting the following errors:

$ emerge
ACCESS DENIED  open_wr:   /dev/port
Cannot open /dev/port: Permission denied
ACCESS DENIED  open_wr:   /dev/port
Cannot open /dev/port: Permission denied
--------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY 
---------------------------
LOG FILE = "/tmp/sandbox-10839.log"

open_wr:   /dev/port
open_wr:   /dev/port
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
emerge: please tell me what to do.

and then it goes on printing out the errors.

If I actually try to emerge something, it gets to just before the part where 
it shows the arrows for installing the files and quits.

Any help is appreciated.

What are you trying to emerge?  Does this happen with all emerges, no matter
what the package is?  Also, please provide the output of "emerge info".

Yes every emerge does it, I even tried running a python script that I found in 
a directory somewhere, and it did the same thing. So this might be looking 
like a python problem.

Well I just managed to downgrade manually to 2.0.46-r12 by untbz2'ing a 
package that I had previously made(I knew that was going to come in handy at 
some point), and now my problems have gone away. I assume it has something to 
do with the fact that portage has to have a portage user to run now, and she 
doensn't have write privileges to /dev/port. I tried changing the permissions 
to 777 and that did not fix anything. I am at a loss. If anybody else knows 
of a fix, it would be nice in case anybody else runs into this.

portage-2.0.47-r2 corrects some variables and paths, and as a consequnce
causes your .bashrc to be sourced... This is fixed for 2.0.47-r3.
