 Could someone give a brief description of the cause of sandbox violations?

Sandbox violations occur when a build of a package tries to modify
something on your filesystem outside of the
/var/tmp/portage/pkg/work directory.  Put simply, the build of a
package is not allowed to do silly things like add users to
/etc/passwd, change file or directory permissions, remove or add
files, etc.  Having such things in a build is a bad idea for every
distribution, because if you build a binary package and distribute it,
it is very unlikely that those modifications can also be distributed
in any sane way.

[gentoo-user] emerge svgalib-1.9.23 dies

2005-12-06 Thread Ernie Schroder

cc1: Permission denied: opening dependency file scripts/basic/.fixdep.d
make[2]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 1
make[1]: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-gentoo-r1'
make: *** [default] Error 2

OK so there's a fixdep and a fixdep.c, but no fixdep.d 
at /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-gentoo-r1. Yes, I know the kernel is old but that 
can't be the reason. Some help please?
