Yeah, I finally got gentoo up and running with X and everything, only to see that all attempts at emerging software fails. For example, when doing
emerge xchat:
Code:
herren root # emerge xchat
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) net-irc/xchat-2.0.8-r1 to /
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 2599, in ?

File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1551, in merge

makedirs(head, mode)

mkdir(name, mode)
OSError: [Errno 5] Input/output error: '/var/tmp/portage/xchat-2.0.8-r1'
I've looked all around for help, but noone seems to have the exact same problem.
Will someone help a poor nub?
