One more simple check: is your /usr or / partition at 100%? This can happen easily with Gentoo when installing large packages (and texlive is immense) because the downloaded file is written to /usr/portage/distfiles, then the downloaded file is extracted, probably to /tmp or /var/tmp, then the package is installed, in /usr/share for texlive. This can easily exceed a gigabyte of disk usage, and depending on your partition arrangement all of these directories may be on the same partition. Les -- L. R. Denham http://www.hal-pc.org/~ldenham

I think you have a 64bit machine and texlive-core has a bug that somehow is triggered o such a setup. You should post a bug in Gentoo's bugzilla. -- Andrés

Hi Lukas, hi Les thanks for your answers ;-) Lukáš Oliva schrieb: This is probably really offtopic, there can be many reasons and it would be generally better idea to write to gentoo mailing list. That was helpful, see below Several possible problems can occur: - are you root? (maybe silly question, just for sure) sure - can you write to the selected path? /usr/lib64/libkpathsea.so.4.1.0 yes - have you tried different version of texlive-core? yes, even tetex-3.0 fails in the same way googling with the exact error message I found a gentoo bugzilla page, where the situation is discussed (between 11/2005 and 01/2006) and it is claimed the bug is resolved. This seems not to be true. But I think there may be a hint how a can work around this problem Best regards Hellmut -- Dr. Hellmut Weber [EMAIL PROTECTED] Degenfeldstraße 2 tel +49-89-3081172 D-80803 München-Schwabing mobil +49-172-8450321 please: No DOCs, no PPTs. why: tinyurl.com/cbgq
