Hello. I am new to the list so I apologize if this has been discussed before.
I see lots of messages like this one, and it seems to come more often when I am emerging a large number of packages (like emerge -e system): * * ERROR: sys-devel/automake-wrapper-3-r1 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 1772: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * die "error processing environment" * The die message: * error processing environment It is difficult to reproduce, as I can typically try that package again or emerge --resume (without --skipfirst) and everything goes fine, until the problem hits a different package. What information would be useful from me in trying to figure out this problem? This has been a problem for me for months now, and I've tried various ideas from bugzilla and the forums to no effect. $ emerge --info Portage 2.2_rc28 (default/linux/x86/2008.0, gcc-4.3.2, glibc-2.8_p20080602-r1, 2 .6.24-gentoo-r3 i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.24-gentoo-r3-i686-AMD_Duron-tm-_processor-with-glibc2.0 Timestamp of tree: Fri, 10 Apr 2009 06:00:01 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.7 dev-lang/python: 2.5.2-r7 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63 sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-tbird -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-tbird -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="buildpkg ccache distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox usersync" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/gentoo-distfiles/ http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo http://chi-10g-1-mirror.fastsoft.net/pub/linux/gentoo/gentoo-distfiles/ http://gentoo.mirrors.tds.net/gentoo http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/"; LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--timeout=600" 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="/etc/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="acl aim amazon amd aspnet async automount bash-completion berkdb bittorrent bzip2 cdinstall chroot cli colordiff cracklib crypt cscope css cups dedicated device-mapper divx dri ecc emacs fbcon isdnlog java junit logrotate logwatch memlimit mono mudflap ncurses nowebdav nptl nptlonly openmp parport pcre perl ppds pppd python readline reflection samba session spl ssl subversion sysfs tcpd userlocales x86 xorg zlib" ALSA_CARDS="emu10k1" 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 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" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="3dfx" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS Thanks for any help you can give!
