In libgpod package there is a /tmp directory with 755 permissions
It's break default /tmp permissions

solution, waiting new package, is

Code:

chmod 777 /tmp

I wrote about it too to Pat and reported it also to ##slackware.
I proposed to add --with-temp-mount-dir=/media to the configure: default is /tmp and in that case it creates the dir in the $PKG folder.

imho /tmp is ok to mount temp dir, but should be removed from the package

but speaking about it with robby, we agreed that /media should be a more standard location.
the configure says

Code:

  --with-temp-mount-dir=DIR
                          Directory where HAL/udev will create a sub-directory
                          to mount iPods

The $PKG/tmp folder is created only if that option is unset.

So the fix is to not use HAL anymore? What in Slackware still needs HAL that it's still being kept around?

kde 4.5 still uses HAL (4.6 in alien repository not), and other software I think. But slowly it's disappearing :-)

The fix has nothing to do with using HAL or not.
The choice to stop using HAL was made because at some point, HAL will get replaced anyway (but for that you will have to wait until after the next stable Slackware has been released).
