I'm trying to build a new Gentoo installation based on amd64/2005.0 profile. I have "mysql innodb" (among many others) in my USE flags, so mysql is going to be emerged when doing "emerge -ave system". Alas, it cannot compile because it displays the error while configuring. It says that it cannot figure out switches for "ps" command. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. untar amd64 stage3 on an empty partition 2. change USE flags in /etc/make.conf as 3. do: emerge -ave system 4. wait about 4 hours to get the error :-( Actual Results: ... checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl checking for ps... /bin/ps checking "how to check if pid exists"... configure: error: Could not find the right ps switches. Which OS is this ?. See the Installation chapter in the Reference Manual. !!! Please attach the config.log to your bug report: !!! /var/tmp/portage/mysql-4.0.24/work/mysql-4.0.24/config.log !!!

Created attachment 54776 [details] mysql-4.0.24 config.log Here goes the config.log for mysql-4.0.24, as the emerge asked.
Well, well. I feel somewhat ashamed... I did ./configure manually and it turned out that the bug still persists. But when I tried to list processes... # ps Error, do this: mount -t proc proc /proc As I said, I feel ashamed. Bug closed. There was no bug. The problem was between the keyboard and the chair ;)
Closed, that is.
