GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 529668
access violation on Gentoo
Last modified: 2009-06-23 00:33:52 UTC
Please describe the problem: When a package is installed on a Gentoo system, it all happens in a 'sandbox'. Access to a directories/files outside of this sandbox results in an 'access violation' error. During build, executing tools/.libs/lt-introspect it tries to mkdir /root/.gegl-0.0 which fails. Can this be avoided? (I couldn't try gegl-0.0.20 since this isn't on ftp.gimp.org Many thanks for your help. Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
The downstream bug report, including a workaround (setting the GEGL_SWAP variable): https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=183425
Could someone using Gentoo test the latest 0.0.22 release of GEGL and report back as to whether the sandbox violation still exists?
Seems to work fine without the prior workaround for me, this bug probably can be closed as fixed. You might also want to have a look at the following configure patch: gegl-20-configure-ac.patch from http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=240776 It adds some new dependency configure flags (instead of automagically using detected libraries).
Closing as per comment #3.
