 |
|
This is the first time I get access violation errors, and I can't get rit of it.
First I only had it with ORBit. I got past it by using SANDBOX_DISABLE="1" emerge ORBit.
I have no idea what that sandbox is, but I think it is not a good idea to do that with every program I want to install. Every emerge gives me the access violation summary where it complains about:
symlink: /usr/lib/perl5/perl5.8.0/base.pm
Some programs report this link once, others report it three times.
In the sandbox logfile I see the exact same error as above.
Anyone who can explaine what a sandbox problem is and how I can get rid of it?

A 'sandbox' is a special environment that is set up to be safe. Think of a childrens sand pit. They can build whatever they want in there and it won't damage anything outside of the sandbox (in theory). So a sandbox in the sense you are dealing with is a nice, safe, friendly environment where the processes using it can't damage anything outside of it. Also, any damage they do TO the sandbox is easily fixed or simply not a worry.
The analogy breaks down when someone hides broken glass in the sand. |

ok, thanks for explanation.
So this would indicate that a lot of programs want to access/modify /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/base.pm which is in the sandbox (of perl I geuss).
Why am I the only one with this problem? It is hard to believe that I am the only person who wants to install ORBit, which is almost a basic gnome package. But even if it is not ORBit, I've got a lot of other programs that give the same error. Why do they all want to access/modify that base.pm.
As you can see, it is not making any sence to me. |
