Python 2.7.3-r2 and sandbox


I am really new to sandbox and don't really understand it yet. I am running gentoo and trying to install python 2.7.3-r2 which is an ebuild that uses the sandbox.

(Before you say anything I've had this question on Gentoo forums for a while and nobody has even attempted an answer. Since the problem itself is somewhat more general, I figured I'd post it here.)

Here is the sandbox log:

Code:
VERSION 1.0 
FORMAT: F - Function called 
FORMAT: S - Access Status 
FORMAT: P - Path as passed to function 
FORMAT: A - Absolute Path (not canonical) 
FORMAT: R - Canonical Path 
FORMAT: C - Command Line 

F: link 
S: deny 
P: /run/sem.autoconf 
A: /run/sem.autoconf 
R: /run/sem.autoconf 
C: ./conftest 

F: unlink 
S: deny 
P: /run/sem.rvv6B7 
A: /run/sem.rvv6B7 
R: /run/sem.rvv6B7 
C: ./conftest 

F: link 
S: deny 
P: /run/sem.autocftw 
A: /run/sem.autocftw 
R: /run/sem.autocftw 
C: ./conftest 

F: unlink 
S: deny 
P: /run/sem.LLFWGc 
A: /run/sem.LLFWGc 
R: /run/sem.LLFWGc 
C: ./conftest

I don't really have a good understanding of the /run directory or why attempting to link to this would be useful or bad. Could anyone give me some insight?

You're trying to install python inside that sandbox? I've never used sandbox, but my understanding of it is you're trying to prevent the program run from altering the system - so it's fundamentally at odds with trying to install anything using it.

Sorry if I've misunderstood what you're saying. In any case, it may be useful if you post the exact commands you're using...

yeah I really don't understand it myself. It's a Gentoo thing I guess.

Are you following a particular guide? If so, can you link to it here please?

What is your end goal? Are you just trying to install Python 2.7.3-r2? Have you tried using emerge?

And again, can you post the commands you're using to do whatever it is you're doing?

Regards,

No, just trying to get xorg installed. The strange part is I've done it many times before. Never with this problem

Don't see where Python comes into it, then... Try following http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml

Trust me, Python is in the dependency try in the Gentoo ebuild.
I managed to get it installed. I updated Sandbox to 2.6 and it worked without a problem.

Thanks,
