 |
|
Why are all my compiles failing because the system can't find /dev/fd.
I have a laptop without a floppy and nothing will compile.
| Code: |
>>> '/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/expat-2.1.0-r3/temp/build.log'
* Messages for package dev-libs/expat-2.1.0-r3:
* You're missing a /dev/fd symlink to /proc/self/fd.
* Please fix the symlink and check your boot scripts (udev/etc...).
* ERROR: dev-libs/expat-2.1.0-r3::gentoo failed (configure phase):
* /dev/fd is broken

fd is actually "file descriptor" directory not "floppy drive" and points to a directory that contains pointers to the files that a particular process has open. You should have a symlink from /dev/fd to /proc/self/fd placed manually if you don't use udev. If you are using udev, something is kind of broken in your udev/mdev/other automatic /dev population setup... Try etc-update to make sure you don't have stale configuration files, but in the mean time you can link it manually:
cd /dev
ln -s self/fd fd
