 |
|
i'm trying to get a browser up and running and did "emerge mozilla". it compiled fine, but at the very end i get the error:
"/etc/ld.so.preload fopen: No such file or directory"
i can emerge other apps fine.. anyone know what's up with that error? |

to fix this, I just did:
| Code: |
touch /etc/ld.so.preload |
just so the file exists, but there is nothing in it to affect any builds.

|
|
I had the same problem but touching /etc/ld.so.preload allows mozilla to emerge properly.
I've also run into the same problem with qt. The ld.so.preload had disappeared. Touching it again fixes the problem.
I noticed that running "emerge search ..." as a normal user and hitting ctrl+c midway causes it to exit complaining that it can't unlink /etc/ld.so.preload due to permission problems.
Is there a reason for this? I find it unerving that emerge is removing files in /etc |
