As the description says, attempting to 'emerge dev-db/mongodb' fails.
I will attach all relevant and requested files.

The error looks like an out of memory kill.
On one hand, '-j1' is pretty low, on the other, so is 512MB.

[Comment 5 Timothy Totten 2013-05-09 20:56:55 UTC]

The virtual server is limited to 512 MB of RAM and 512 MB of swap by default.
I will add an additional swap file and see if that helps.

[Comment 6 Timothy Totten 2013-05-09 22:36:58 UTC]

I can confirm, after adding 2GB of extra swap, the compile succeeded.
I am marking this as resolved.

Thank you for your help!
