hi guys,

how can I fix this?

Code:
emerge xorg-server


Quote:
>>> /usr/share/man/man5/getconfig.5x.gz
--- /usr/share/X11/
--- /usr/share/X11/xkb/

!!! Cannot write to '/usr/share/X11/xkb/compiled'.
!!! Please check permissions and directories for broken symlinks.
!!! You may start the merge process again by using ebuild:
!!! ebuild /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-server/xorg-server-1.0.1-r2.ebuild merge
!!! And finish by running this: env-update



thanks

Blackbelt, I had this same problem too. I followed the path specidfied, and it appears that there is a symlink in
/usr/share/X11/xkb named "compiled" the path of it is /var/lib/xkb. However /var/lib/xkb does not exist. Simply doing a
Code:
mkdir /var/lib/xkb
and
Code:
ebuild /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-server/xorg-server-1.0.1-r2.ebuild merge
fixed it for me.

Thanks jasonmallison, this solved it for me. Now I'm wonder, shouldn't this be in the ebuild (checking if the dir exists, if not make it)?

Code:

mkdir /var/lib/xkb
emerge xorg-x11

did the trick for me.

Thanks.
