Can't emerge -u world, Access Violation

GrandMasterG · n00b Joined: 28 Jan 2003 Posts: 63

Somebody please..............

When I emerge -u world

it downloads and tried to compile gcc-3.2.1, about 39min later
I get Access Violation Summary
chown: /var/cache/edb
chown: /var/cache/edb/dep

Most of the errors are in the /var/cache dir.

I thought it was my CFLAGS causing the problem so i tried again with the default CFLAGS and same problem.

What do I do? I can't even install Xfree!

Thanks for your help,
G

Try "emerge regen"

GrandMasterG · n00b Joined: 28 Jan 2003 Posts: 63

What does that do? I search this site and the user docs and I don't see a definition of regen?

I recreates the tree? How is that different from
emerge rsync

I'm compiling now so I have to wait an hour until the error comes back to see if it worked or not

Out of curiousity what made you think I needed emerge regen because I was having access violation errors? I'm just trying to figure out how you debug something like this.

Thanks for your time,

Hi,

It didn't work

I just got the same error.

I remembered something that might be helpful.
These errors started when I compiled my kernel. So I'm assuming that I'm missing something in my kernel? Any thoughts on what I could be missing that would generate access violation errors in the kernel?

Thanks

G

I read that emerge regen recreates the cache, it's more a guess then anything but it's simple enough to try.
"emerge rsync" only updates the cache.

You can see all the commands (documented or not) by loading /usr/lib/portage/bin/emerge into a text editor.

You could try posting the first 20 lines or so centered on where it first generates an error.

What does "emerge -V" say?

I just tried emerge -e -v world

I'll post back withing 45-60 min as that's when the damn errors like to come up.

Thanks!

To add to my notes and hopefully this might help you in helping me.

I did a stage 3 tarball install.
According to the documents...it says to

nano -w /etc/make.conf and ajust my USE and CFLAGS
emerge -u world
download kernel source.

Well the thing is....in my USE I have gnome, kde, qt, xmms, etc......

so when it got to emerge -u world it was downloading XFREE and then the same Access Violations happend when i tried to compile it. So I thought maybe this is a problem since i haven't done my kernel yet so I commented out my USE and CFLAGS and again emerge -u world. All i downloaded was gcc which complied fine at the time. After I compiled my kernel (6 times now), every single emerge I do generates an Access Violation with the same path /var/cache. ????wtf?

So my notes in an earlier post are incorrect, I had this problem before I installed the kernel.

If you would like me to post my USE and CFLAGS let me know.

Thanks again for your time.

just finished compiling and same errors as before posted above in my first post. I didn't see nothing new with verbose on?

Anyone? I have started over about 3 times so I don't know what's going on, there's gotta be somewhere where it tells me why access is denied.

I checked the /var/log/emerge.log and everything is kosher in there, doesn't list any errors?

Thanks,

G

My bad, I was typing in lower case

When I type

emerge -V

I get:

Portage 2.0.44 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-sh: /usr/bin/gcc: No such file or directory, glibc-2.3.1-rc2)

So what does this mean? Was I supposed to create the above directory before I did my first emerge?

Thanks,

G

I just fixed my shift key and corrected my post

OK, two things are going on here. First, somehow your PATH is messed up. The short answer is "source /etc/profile". That will solve "gcc not found". Now, does "emerge -u portage" complete successfully?

Here's what I did

source /etc/profile
emerge -V
Still the same deal as before gcc not found

I tried env-update and the above same problem gcc not found

I tired emerge -u portage and it downloads 3 of 18 files and dies
Access Denied chown: /var/cache/edb

??

Yuck. What does "gcc-config --get-bin-path" say?

/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.2

OK, well, that's good - now I'm assuming that directory is in your path. If so, then "which gcc" will not fail. If gcc is findable, try "emerge --nodeps -u portage".

Hi,

I'm having the same problem here. Everytime I try to emerge a package I get:
---------------------------------------
ACCESS VIOLATION
LOG FILE = "/tmp/sandbox-knetfilter-3.0.2-19411.log"
chown: /var/cache/edb
chown: /var/cache/edb/dep
open_wr: /var/cache/edb/mtimedb
----------------------------------------

I tried emerge regen and still nothing. How did you get rid of the access violation?

Thanks

Hello,

I just did what rac suggested.

emerge --nodeps -u portage

after it was done I:

env-update

source /etc/profile

everything works now! Looks like my portage was out of date which was causing problems.

I hope this works for you.

works like a charm thanks.

That's great information rac. It worked for me as well. Thanks. One question though, why the --nodeps the -u also seems redundant if your portage tree is current. All it took for me was emerge portage. It automatically took care of the upgrade and cleaned my cache up as well. Fill me in if there's a reason that I'm missing for the --nodeps.

i did a FEATURES="-sandbox" module-rebuild rebuild to get it working again
