after the "emerge system" i get an access denied e

DaAzZkIkR

i followed instructions on the install page and everything went smooth as ice, till i woke up this morning and i see an error!

just for the record: the system is a Gateway 500Mhz PIII, 192MB RAM, 10GB HD, and a ISA 3Com NIC 3c509. everything here works perfectly.

the error towards the end appears like the following;

or does it matter at all? since it could not delete something, i presume that is not a big deal.

I've had the same problem, I came back from school today and I saw that 'emerge system' failed.

I wonder why such an error should cancel the whole emerge. It's not such a big deal if you ask me. Anyway I am re-emerging system at the moment.

I got the same problem

I noticed that it tried to delete files that werent there at all!
So I touched them there but it still wouldnt work

Humm...maybe I should try to fix the damm script by commenting over those troubling lines.

Anyway, Im going to try installing it straight from stage 3 insted of stage 1 or 2...this way I can skip the "emerge system" thing.

btw, from what media were u guys trying to install?
I was installing from Gentoo Linux 1.4 RC1 Livecd+UT2003 demo.

I was installing from the Gentoo 1.4 rc1-r2 live cd. Weird that the files don't exist, because it says that permission is denied. It doens't say they don't exist.

ok tried it

. I extracted the files from /usr/portage/distfiles/procps-2.0.7.tar.gz and edited procps-2.0.7/ps/Makefile then added it back but I chmodded it to 777 to make sure it would be able to handle the files (because I don't know if the owner is still the same).

tried it "like" that, but didn't work...

i went to the tmp directory, but i think a problem is that the Makefile gets re-extracted to the tmp directory. and i don't know what you mean with "added it back"....

extract, ok, no problem, editing too, but then? just copying? i think that's not the way, is it??

K, I got it working(at least it got pass the procs prob ;-)

.
So I extracted the procs-2.0.7.tar.gz(with the -p param to preserve permissions) from /usr/portage/distfiles to tmp, edited the ps/Makefile and then repacked it and replaced the orig. tgz file. As we know gentoo uses the md5sums to check the packages, so I edited the digest file in /usr/portage/packages/sys-utils/procs-2.0.7(or something, search the exact paths with find), and replaced the md5 checksum + the file size with the new ones. And then just typed "emerge system" and it continued fine.

satiat, u need to repack the proc-2.0.7 directory. So do tar -cf proc-2.0.7.tar prock-2.0.7(<- the directory with modified file). Then gzip proc-2.0.7.tar. And then replace the orig. archive. Then do emerge system(or just do md5sum proc-2.0.7.tar.gz to get the md5 checksum). Write it down, then ls -la proc-2.0.7.tar.gz to get the exact size. Then modify the *digest file in /usr/portage/package/sys-apps/proc-2.0.7(find the exact path with find |grep proc-2.0.7). And follow the instructions in above message.

ok will do that. My way failed as I forgot to think of the md5 checksum
