When trying to emerge glib I get the following error:
Quote:

ln -s ld.so /data/portage/glibc-2.2.5-r6/work/glibc-2.2.5/buildhere/elf/ld.so.1

This obviously prevents me from being able to emerge glib and therefore from upgrading my system. I also get this error when trying to emerge fluxconf:

It seems as if ln isn't running with root permissions, but I envoke emerge with sudo (and I've tried su'ing and then emerging with the same results). What might be going on? I have blown away everything in my PORTAGE_TMPDIR and everything under /usr/portage and rsyncing again. I'm at a complete loss as to what may be going on...

What type of filesystem is this being built on?

Currently being build on vfat (needed a large disk, but the only disk I had laying around with enough space is a 20gig disk that was used in a PC and I still need to back up the data before I reformat to ext3) and installed onto a ext3 fs.

FYI, I reformatted the drive with ext3 instead of it's old fat32 (vfat) format and everything works fine now... I could have sworn that I built a number of the packages that were failing off of the drive, but I guess my memory just sucks! :wink:
