I see tmp is chmod 755 but shouldn't it be something like 1777? It should, but it makes no difference to emerging, which is done as root. 1777 is more secure, it stops one user removing another user's files, but is not the cause of your problem. How much free space is on /tmp? What does df -Th /tmp show? There was plenty of room there. It turned out to be something mechanical. I'm not really sure still exactly what but changing the ribbon connector from mobo to master and slave drives (one of which held tmp) seems to have fixed it. (at least for now) What got me looking at that was hearing the drive clicking after restarting kde compile. Not many but a few widely spaced that seemed wrong. Then in the coures of tinkering I noticed that on bootup hda was loosing its IRQ repeatedly. All seems to be ok now with the ribbon being changed out. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
