[SOLVED]"permission denied" when building pkg

CPUnltd · 2011-01-22 08:44:27

most consistantly, I get the error when a pkgbuild has the line: ./autogen.sh
in building linphone-git, mediastreamer-git and ortp-git

another time, I got burned with the line: ./system.tmp
from building wiimms-iso-tools

and the last pkg I tried to build, I got it on the line: ./file2h
while building linux-wbfs-manager

...it really bugs me about these packages, because my desktop has the exact same install and works fine (so well, I can build them on the desktop and install them on the laptop... but that becomes tedious after a while, so I'd like to fix this issue... I searched for the issue in the forums, and it always semed to be related to the actual pkgbuild... but that's not the case in my scenario because the build works fine on the desktop and kicks me in the teeth on the laptop. Please ask whatever questions necessary to get the info needed to deal with this issue. I'm not really strong at pkgbuild configurations (only make a couple for my own to test my abiliities) so I'm not sure what to include exactly. I can include the line numbers for the pkgbuilds in question, but I'm sure the PKGBBUILDs are not the issue here... it's something to do with my laptop...

come to think of it, my desktop isn't quite up to date as my laptop, I think... because the laptop ran into an issue where python-qt and python-sip were attempting to replace python2-qt and python2-sip, but both python2 pkgs were deps for like 50+ other packages... so I'm not sure if that's related. Pretty sure I didn't update my desktop and get that issue... not in the last couple of days. And that issue started on my laptop today... both issues, actually, so maybe they are related.

***********************************

SOLUTION: removed "noexec" from tmpfs options for /tmp ramdisk setup in fstab
Moral of the story: be mindful of how you configure things, because an old configuration can ruin a new package installation or functionality.

Do the script has the executable permission? It might help if you post an actual error message.

Does it work if you build it using makepkg in a folder other than /tmp?

Do you have /tmp mounted without permission to execute things?

Well, that is a good old-fashioned compiler error. So that is different to the errors you were having.

Looks to me like your /tmp is set up with no exec privileges, so you can't run anything from there (which stops you building packages using some AUR helpers...)

CPUnltd · 2011-01-24 21:05:07

so it's an fstab issue then?

Allan · 2011-01-24 21:28:35

Possibly... do you have a separate /tmp partition and have you adjust it lately?

CPUnltd · 2011-01-24 21:31:03

I just recently created a tmpfs for /tmp... I found the noexec option listed (copied it from a post I found about tmpfs, not thinking about what the noexec option might mean for installing packages... wonder why the guy that posted that didn't have the same issue...

I just changed it, but haven't rebooted just yet... will do so and post back what happens.

CPUnltd · 2011-01-24 22:06:05

fstab change fixed it! the compiler issue (at least for ortp-git that I've tested so far) seems to be gone as well... will repost in first post... THX!
