Is your /proc mounted? I got errors like this one when trying to compile something in a chroot environment where I forgot to mount /proc
You state, "i dont want sed-4.0.7 to be installed, it won't work for me." if that is the case, there is a bug in sed-4.0.7, what is wrong with it?
>Is your /proc mounted? Yes, It's my LTSP server machine and most of the programs work fine except some.
>if that is the case, there is a bug in sed-4.0.7, what is wrong with it? nobody knows :) but I guess that some ebuilds are not compatible with sed-4.x and higher. I have reported several bugs related to sed-4.x but most of them were marked resolved when I found out and told that supersed works for me.
I have sed-4.0.7 installed on many machines without any problems at all. let it get installed and see if mysql installs then. if it still fails, please attach /var/tmp/portage/mysql-4.0.13-r3/work/*/config.log
same error message with sed-4.0.7

Vieko: could I possibly get access to your system to try and figure out why sed and everything aren't behaving correctly ? The actual command that fails in the mysql configure is: 'ps p $$' Run that and see what output you get. Please contact me via email, using GPG if you use it, please encrypt to one of three keys: 0xCA05A397, 0x67592A1F, 0x34884E85

could you run 'strace ps p $$' and attach the output please? ps should _not_ crash like that.

I reemerged procps and now it won't crash! Now the mysql emerges properly. I'm pretty sure that the procps problem started when I upgraded to gcc-3.3 and compiled glibc with gcc3.3. So, it can be marked as possible problem when upgrading to gcc-3.3.
I'm having a failure at the same place. This is on a chrooted Gentoo install from a RedHat 9 system. I tried re-emerging procps but that did not help. gcc-3.2.3-r1. I'm not trying anything weird like --nodeps, just emerge -u world. checking "how to check if pid exists"... configure: error: Could not find the right ps switches. Which OS is this ?.

Solved it. /proc wasn't mounted. # ps p $$ Error, do this: mount -t proc none /proc
Closing bug as Donnie found it was being caused by /proc not being mounted.
