Ah, got it. Your kernel is too old. You need a kernel > 2.6.22 to make this work. If you cannot upgrade your kernel right now, you can disable the sandbox FEATURES="-sandbox" in /etc/make.conf (I do not recommend this) Or you can replace touch with busybox's implementation (if bb is installed) mv /bin/touch /root (to save it for later restauration) ln -s /bin/bb /bin/touch > BTW: What means don't top-post if possible? -> http://idallen.com/topposting.html Best, Michael > ________________________________ > From: Michael Schreckenbauer <grim...@gmx.de> > To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org > Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2011 7:12 PM > Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] New gentoo installation fails when trying to > install syslog-ng > On Wednesday, 14.
