I wanted to give freeride a try, so I had emerged it. I would like to atthach the output after running it (also in strace) from the CLI, but usually this happens: <several warnings> /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux/fox12.so: warning: already initialized constant ID_REFRESH /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux/fox12.so: warning: already initialized constant ID_LAST *** glibc detected *** ruby: double free or corruption (out): 0x08b90458 *** Than a windowframe appears but the work area is transparent... And nothing happens. Process state remains "S+". And when I hit CTRL-C (using strace), the output log is empty. But at list I can interrupt it, which is not true without strace.

Created attachment 108760 [details] freeride log via strace Hope this helps a bit.
This looks to me like yet another manifestation of bug 161566. Your emerge --info show that you are using glibc-2.5 and autoconf-2.61, which is the combination of tools that causes ruby's configure to make the wrong assumption and mess up file reading in some cases. Could confirm if you still see the problem, and if it goes away after either downgrading autoconf or upgrading glibc, and recompiling ruby? I can't seem to test this myself due to other bugs related to the fox packages.
