Stellarium emerges just fine, but segfaults when run. As a test, I downloaded the source and compiled. Same thing. I noticed that it used OpenGL, so I switched GL interface to xfree and recompiled (from a clean directory). After make, I switched back to the NVIDIA interface and the application started fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge stellarium 2. stellarium Actual Results: Segmentation Fault Expected Results: Stellarium should have opened and run.

Works fine for me with Portage 2.0.49-r15 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1, 2.4.20-gentoo-r7) Using the NVIDIA driver. If you're able, you might try downgrading your kernel and seeing if that makes a difference. You chopped off the top line of the emerge --info output so I don't know about the rest of your setup. ;-)
Good point. I've been using the 2.6 series for a while now and completely disregarded that. Here's the missing line from emerge info: Portage 2.0.49-r15 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.2, glibc-2.3.2-r8, 2.6.0-test9-mm2) I did manage to get it to work. I had the ebuild switch to the xfree interface prior to config. However, I wasn't able to force it to switch back to the NVIDIA interface afterward. Performing opengl-update nvidia prior to running stellarium seems to have worked.
I think this might be related to some bad nvidia layouts etc... If its really an issue please remerge xfree or xorg-x11, and the latest ~x86 nvidia-kernel and then retry. Thats the setup im using and could not reproduce your problem.
