Re: [gentoo-dev] /dev/port Permission denied

[Brian Jackson]

Well I just managed to downgrade manually to 2.0.46-r12 by untbz2'ing a 
package that I had previously made(I knew that was going to come in handy at 
some point), and now my problems have gone away. I assume it has something to 
do with the fact that portage has to have a portage user to run now, and she 
doensn't have write privileges to /dev/port. I tried changing the permissions 
to 777 and that did not fix anything. I am at a loss. If anybody else knows 
of a fix, it would be nice in case anybody else runs into this.
