Ok, update: |

|

!!! Cannot write to '/Library'. |
| 4 |
!!! Please check permissions and directories for broken symlinks. |
| 5 |
!!! You may start the merge process again by using ebuild: |

!!! ebuild |
| 7 |
/private/var/automount/nfs/poseidon/export/home/gentoo/gentoo-x86/sys-devel/patch/patch-2.5.9-r1.ebuild |

merge |

!!! And finish by running this: env-update |

Above is the output of my OSX installation (which worked) when I execute |
| 12 |
emerge not as root. In order to get this, I first had to chmod 755 |
| 13 |
/Library as it is per default writable to users from the admin group |
| 14 |
(which I am of course). Before I did this chmod, I found a hint as of |
| 15 |
why this happens: |

The directory bin is the first I can't write to as user from the admin |
| 34 |
group. During the merge phase portage merges the prefix paths from the |
| 35 |
image too. When being run as root, this is no problem, because root can |
| 36 |
usually write everywhere on the local system, including the prefix. On |
| 37 |
my Fedora Core system at work, however, I can't. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
So... (drums) ...I made it work! (w00t!) |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
I patched the portage code not to check whether it can write on |
| 42 |
directories that are from the root till the prefix path. See attached |
| 43 |
patch. I guess it sucks big time, but the idea should be clear. It |
| 44 |
works for me at least... |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Now I finally got 'patch' emerged, I'm going to see how far I can get :D |
