Den Thursday 05 July 2007 17.02.38 skrev Eric Blake: I have done some more tests. It seems that the problem only appears when I copy from one specific user. I created a new user copied sip-4.6.tar.gz, unpacked it and run pytgon configure.py, make did a su and "make install" and now everything worked just fine. So there is some problem with the "old" user, but I cant' figure out what it is.
However, I tried to install PyQt-X11-4.2 from this new user, and at the end of the install process I got the same error again, when there were just two files left to copy! There were hundreds of cp-commands in this install. What's going on? Is it a problem with cp or is it a problem with the Mandriva Spring distro? /Peter > Please keep replies on the list, so that others may contribute or see the > resolution. > > According to Peter Landgren on 7/5/2007 8:55 AM: > > OK, I know that, but my problems come when I do a normal su and "make > > install": > > > > The first three cp-commands are OK, but not the fourth: > > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] sip-4.6]$ su > > Password: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] sip-4.6]# make install > > make[1]: Entering directory `/home/progman/src/sip-4.6/sipgen' > > cp -f sip /usr/bin/sip > > make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/progman/src/sip-4.6/sipgen' > > make[1]: Entering directory `/home/progman/src/sip-4.6/siplib' > > cp -f sip.so /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sip.so > > strip /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sip.so > > cp -f sip.h /usr/include/python2.5/sip.h > > make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/progman/src/sip-4.6/siplib' > > cp -f sipconfig.py /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sipconfig.py > > cp: setting attributes for > > "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sipconfig.py": Operationen stöds ej > > make: *** [install] Fel 1 > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] sip-4.6]# > > Can you run the same command via strace, and see which syscall was failing? > > > The files is copied: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] site-packages]$ ls -l sipconfig.py > > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 81902 jul 5 16:45 sipconfig.py > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] site-packages]$ > > > > As I do this as root, cp should not complain? > > It makes no difference whether you are root - when cp encounters problems, > it must report them.
