1 Hello. I'm trying to make a new .ebuild file for a package that I
2 like to use under Linux (DVD::Rip), and I'm testing it on my machine,
3 and it's giving me an error that I don't understand. The dependencies
4 work, and it seems to finish the compile part okay, but it fails when
5 installing into the image directory.
6 The error is this:
7
8 ACCESS DENIED open_wr: /usr/share/man/man1/splitpipe.1
9 Installing /usr/share/man/man1/splitpipe.1
10 ACCESS DENIED utime: /usr/share/man/man1/splitpipe.1
11 ACCESS DENIED chmod: /usr/share/man/man1/splitpipe.1
12
13 ...and there's a summary containing basically those three lines, at
14 the end; no new information there.
15
16 What can be causing this error, and how can I fix it? I'm guessing
17 that the package that I'm trying to install is doing something wrong,
18 but I don't want to go mucking around in that until I'm sure that's the
19 right thing to do.
20 Any help would be appreciated, especially pointers to TFM, if there
21 is one I don't know about, other than the HOWTO link on the Gentoo
22 homepage. Thanks!
