fam-2.7.0 emake error

cd . && /bin/sh /var/tmp/portage/fam-2.7.0/work/fam-2.7.0/missing --run autoconfautom4te-2.58: cannot open configure: Permission denied
make: *** [configure] Error 1

!!! ERROR: app-admin/fam-2.7.0 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 391, Exitcode 2
!!! emake failed

Sorry, no time to file a bug report.

Solution:

ebuild /usr/portage/app-admin/fam/fam-2.7.0.ebuild compile
...wait for error...
chmod ug+w /var/tmp/portage/fam-2.7.0/work/fam-2.7.0/configure
ebuild /usr/portage/app-admin/fam/fam-2.7.0.ebuild compile
...should compile cleanly...
ebuild /usr/portage/app-admin/fam/fam-2.7.0.ebuild merge

You may wish to unmerge older versions of fam too, e.g.,

emerge fam-2.6.10-r1 unmerge

I tried your methods but am unable to emerge fam-2.7.

I am having the same problem here, I think the following lines in the ebuild are causing the problem:

I had an ebuild from 02-09-04 replaced the newer ebuild with it and fam compiled no complaints. I have posted the the file. The newer ebuild doesn't have the part about
fix permissions. I don't know if that is the problem but this ebuild works

ageb and thenapalm you are right! I didn't notice that because it worked without errors (and I don't use fam...)

But to help some others around I looked at the ebuilt and I don't know why copeja's modifications didn't work for me (because it seems to be the same)

If you need fam, version 2.7.0 try editing the ebuilt and change the method src_unpack() to:

I also found a work-around:

twisted_steel · n00b Joined: 17 Jul 2003 Posts: 40 Location: Maine

copeja's ebuild + Barkotron's slight modification = success

Thanks

I had the same problem and fixed it the same way. What is wrong with the ebuild and when will it be fixed?

grug · n00b Joined: 10 Feb 2004 Posts: 5

Thanks toe-star. Works great.

two methods worked for me:

on my work machine I commented out the lines that were messing up the ebuild (as described above by batang_gentoo).

on my home machine I just emerged the latest libtool (1.5.2-r1):

This thread helped me getting fam emerged. However, now emerging kdebase crashes:

finally in your error it said "...libfam.la' is not a valid libtool archiv"

so i remembered a similar error while emergin' a KDE part concerning libGL.la,
i just moved the file libGL.la into /root
then tried to emerge the KDE part again, it succeeded,
then i re-moved, moved libGL.la again to /usr/lib/
so just give a try to the following:

first look that libfam.la it is not used by anyone
