Please post your output from 'emerge --info'

Also, try running the emerge with '--debug' option and attach the verbose log it generates. That should provide clues on why enewgroup might be failing.

Portage 2.1.2.9 (default-linux/x86/2007.0/desktop, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.15-gentoo-r5 i686)

Er, please update your system, then try again.

There's still the same statement - building error (after I upgraded:
Portage
Kernel
gcc
glibc
autoconf
automake

groupadd is failing on your system. I would investigate why it's failing.

[Comment 9 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2008-12-23 22:36:25 UTC]

Need some info as to why groupadd is failing.. try to use it under strace and get some additional debugging.
