When trying to emerge =app-emacs/emacs-w3m-1.4.417_pre20101104 with emacs 23.2, the build hangs indefinitely after byte-compiling the lisp files. In the example I stopped after 2 minutes, but I also tested it with about 2 hours runtime. Reproducible: Always Actual Results: # time emerge app-emacs/emacs-w3m >>> Verifying ebuild manifests >>> Emerging (1 of 1) app-emacs/emacs-w3m-1.4.417_pre20101104 openpty failed: 'out of pty devices' ^C real 1m56.188s user 0m6.630s sys 0m1.260s

Please paste your `emerge --info' output into a comment. Also, how did you run out of pty devices? What does the build environment look like? Is that in a chroot?
With no further information, I will mark this as a duplicate for now. Please reopen this bug report when you have determined it is not a duplicate of bug #253681 and supplied the requested information. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 253681 ***
It’s not in a chroot, and the “out of pty” error should not disturb the merging. So this bug is no duplicate of bug 253681, though it has some symptoms of it (they are not the problem, the problem is that the merge stalls forever). $ emerge --info FEATURES variable contains

Emerging works with app-emacs/emacs-w3m-1.4.437_pre20110310, though, so I’ll close this bug as resolved (though I don’t know how).
I need to take that back (too late in the evening here). I do emerge in a chroot (for Gentoo on OLPC/USB-stick). The problem still is not the openpty failed: 'out of pty devices', but that the merge stalls forever. It also takes no CPU (top does not show it). And the correct emerge --info is # emerge --info Portage 2.1.9.25 (default/linux/x86/10.0, gcc-4.4.5, glibc-2.11.3-r0, 2.6.36-gentoo-r5 i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.36-gentoo-r5-i686-AMD_Athlon-tm-_II_X4_605e_Processor-with-gentoo-2.0.1 Timestamp of tree: Tue, 15 Mar 2011 05:15:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.1_p9 dev-lang/python: 2.6.6-r2, 3.1.3-r1 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.1-r2 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.1-r1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.7.0 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.4 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.65-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.10.3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.4.5 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1::<unknown repository> sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.10 sys-devel/make: 3.81-r2 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.36.1 (sys-kernel/linux-headers) ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA skype-eula" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=geode -Os -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-march=geode -Os -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--keep-going --with-bdeps y -q -j --load-average 3.5" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs distlocks fixlafiles fixpackages news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org" LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" LINGUAS="de en" MAKEOPTS="-j5" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/var/lib/layman/emacs /usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnowext X a52 aac acl alsa amrnb amrwb bash-completion berkdb bzip2 cdda cddb cli cracklib crypt cups cxx dbus dga directfb divx dri dts dv dvb emacs encode extras fbcon ffmpeg flac fortran fuse gdbm gnutls gpg gpm guile hal iconv jpeg laptop mad matroska mmx mmxext modules mp2 mp3 mp4 mpeg mplayer mudflap musepack ncurses networking nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp pam pcre perl png pppd pulseaudio python readline rtsp sdl session shout smartcard ssl svg sysfs tcpd theora truetype unicode v4l v4l2 vcd vcdex vcdx vidix vorbis win32codecs x264 x86 xattr xorg xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="emu10k1 emu10k1x sb16" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache cgi cgid dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" CAMERAS="ptp2" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" ELIBC="glibc" GPSD_PROTOCOLS="ashtech aivdm earthmate evermore fv18 garmin garmintxt gpsclock itrax mtk3301 nmea ntrip navcom oceanserver oldstyle oncore rtcm104v2 rtcm104v3 sirf superstar2 timing tsip tripmate tnt ubx" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="de en" PHP_TARGETS="php5-3" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="geode" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Is /dev mounted in your chroot?
Jepp: $ mount | grep /dev| tail -n 1 /dev on /home/arne/Dokumente/eigenes/Programme/GentooXO/gentooxo-updating/gentooxo-1.1/dev type none (rw,bind) Mounted via mount -t proc none gentooxo-1.1/proc mount -o bind /dev gentooxo-1.1/dev mount -o bind /usr/portage gentooxo-1.1/usr/portage mount -o bind 1.1-tiny-portage/tmp/ gentooxo-1.1/var/tmp/portage/ mount -o bind 1.1-tiny-portage/db/ gentooxo-1.1/var/db/
changing to --rbind solves the issue. I can now only umount it with sudo umount -l gentooxo-1.1/dev though. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 247246 ***
