Telling us what file it stopped at isn't helpfull at all. Showing us the actual output where it got stuck (as in 20-30 lines) might be.

If it does no interactions with the system then there probably is something wrong. Problem is thus far you've told us almost nothing. You didn't even bother to reply to your first thread about this topic saying: "I've tried your suggestions and got nowhere.. Any other suggestions?". And yes, you should have included the above output from strace in that reply. Instead you've now created a new thread with almost no useful information in it. So for starters the output of `emerge --info`, and some real output from the emerge. Also did you make any major upgrades on this system recently (like changing the CHOST or upgrading from gcc-3.x to 4.x)? If you did, did you follow the official Gentoo upgrade docs about it? Did you try something as simple as `revdep-rebuild -i -vp`? Might tell us something about the condition of your system too.. -- Bo Andresen
