|
|
I've been trying to emerge kdebase for some time, and even after upgrading portage to the last version I still get this error:
Quote: | checking for xmkmf... /usr/X11R6/bin/xmkmf
checking various X settings... failed
configure: error: /usr/X11R6/bin/xmkmf (imake) failed.
Make sure you have all necessary X development packages installed.
!!! ERROR: kde-base/kdebase-3.1.2 failed.
!!! Function kde_src_compile, Line 126, Exitcode 1
!!! died running ./configure, kde_src_compile:configure |
What could be the cause of it?
Is there something I can do to fix it? |

EDIT: I found the problem in config.log
Quote: | configure:35483: checking various X settings
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config
sh: line 1: /var/tmp/portage/kdebase-3.1.2/temp/imakej4gHjB: Permission denied |
This was because I was emerging as root, and using FEATURES="sandbox userpriv".
That made the temp/ directory be created as root, and then accessed as the portage user because of the sandboxing.
Removing "sandbox userpriv" from the FEATURES fixed that issue.
I'll bring it back when I'm done, and at least now I know that typical imake/xmkmf problems are caused by these features...
P.S.: thanks to the folks on #gentoo, you guys rock! |
