1 The package is trying to put the manpages directly into your /usr tree instead of ${D}/usr. Try adding --mandir=${D}/usr/share/man to your configure or make line.

10 Hello. I'm trying to make a new .ebuild file for a package that I
11 like to use under Linux (DVD::Rip), and I'm testing it on my machine,
12 and it's giving me an error that I don't understand. The dependencies
13 work, and it seems to finish the compile part okay, but it fails when
14 installing into the image directory.
15 The error is this:
16
17 ACCESS DENIED open_wr: /usr/share/man/man1/splitpipe.1
18 Installing /usr/share/man/man1/splitpipe.1
19 ACCESS DENIED utime: /usr/share/man/man1/splitpipe.1
20 ACCESS DENIED chmod: /usr/share/man/man1/splitpipe.1
21
22 ...and there's a summary containing basically those three lines, at
23 the end; no new information there.
24
25 What can be causing this error, and how can I fix it? I'm guessing
26 that the package that I'm trying to install is doing something wrong,
27 but I don't want to go mucking around in that until I'm sure that's the
28 right thing to do.
29 Any help would be appreciated, especially pointers to TFM, if there
30 is one I don't know about, other than the HOWTO link on the Gentoo
31 homepage. Thanks!
