running a gentoo prefix on galaxy note3[solved]

[Adel Ahmed]

I am following the adnroid instsructions to isntall a gentoo prefix on my samsung galaxy note3:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Android/tarball

I have downloaded and extracted the tarball, then i try to run the start prefix script but I get:

Code: Select all

127|root@ha3g:/data/gentoo # ./startprefix
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libsigchain.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.
./startprefix: line 23: /data/gentoo/bin/grep: Permission denied
./startprefix: line 37: /data/gentoo/bin/dirname: Permission denied
./startprefix: line 38: /data/gentoo/bin/mkdir: Permission denied

I have followed the exact same steps on a sony xperia M and it worked like a charm, any idea what this might be? I'm running a rooted stock android on this phone(vs a dotos android on the xperia m, maybe it's selinux?)

it seems the problem lies within the bash executable, I can run the executables in the prefix normally under the android shell, once I run the bash executable in the prefix no more executables are running(I get premission denied):

Code: Select all

126|root@ha3g:/data/gentoo # bin/ls
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libsigchain.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.
bin  etc  lib  root  run  sbin  startprefix  tmp  usr  var
root@ha3g:/data/gentoo # bin/bash
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libsigchain.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.
localhost /data/hdd/32-root # bin/ls
bash: bin/ls: Permission denied
localhost /data/hdd/32-root #

I suspect selinux or some other security suite is preventing me from running executables within bash

I think it might have been selinux, I have installed a custom rom where SELINUX is set to permissive and nwo I can run the prefix.
