This bug seems similar to the one that was impacting perl-5.8.0 and portage. I have gtk2 in my USE flags. audacity cannot compile against gtk2. However when I try to emerge audacity it hangs with the following message. emerge audacity Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) media-sound/audacity-1.1.1-r1 to / >>> md5 ;-) audacity-src-1.1.1-3.tgz >>> Unpacking source... * If I merge audacity using USE="-gtk2" emerge audacity, then things work ok. I have the latest unstable portage - 2.0.47-r7 I read on the gentoo forums that this bug was supposed to be fixed in .47-r7. However I still see this. Basically logger hangs and if I kill it the emerge goes ahead and finally prints the error message that I need USE="-gtk2" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.update portage to 2.0.47-r7 2.emerge audacity 3. Actual Results: Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) media-sound/audacity-1.1.1-r1 to / >>> md5 ;-) audacity-src-1.1.1-3.tgz >>> Unpacking source... * Emerge hangs Expected Results: Should have printed error message that audacity cannot be built with USE="gtk2" Portage 2.0.47-r7 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.2_pre1-r0) ================================================================= System uname: 2.5.63 i686 Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 1.70GHz GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.linux.no http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/opt/misc/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/opt/portage" USE="x86 oss avi crypt encode gif jpeg libg++ mikmod mmx mpeg ncurses nls pdflib png qtmt spell truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib gdbm berkdb slang readline arts tetex aalib bonobo java guile X sdl gpm tcpd pam libwww ssl python esd imlib oggvorbis gnome gtk qt kde motif opengl cdr -3dnow -apm doc gtk2 gtkhtml ldap mozilla pda perl pic pnp -quicktime sse -svga tcltk cups -samba -alsa" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe -fforce-mem -fforce-addr -falign-functions -fprefetch-loop-arrays -mfpmath=sse -msse2 -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -fexpensive-optimizations -fschedule-insns2" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe -fforce-mem -fforce-addr -falign-functions -fprefetch-loop-arrays -mfpmath=sse -msse2 -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -fexpensive-optimizations -fschedule-insns2" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" MAKEOPTS="-j3" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="sandbox ccache"
Nick, the eerror "" line is causing this.
