emerge -t is not completing because of udev. You will have to deal with that to get emerge to progress to the point where it will display the build try. Put an entry for udev into package.unmask and re-run emerge with -p and -t to find what pulls in udev-9999. Fix that so it doesn;t do it anymore, remove the temporary package.unmask and run emerge for real. But first, these are basic fundamental gentoo and portage operations. They fall in the class of "stuff you need to know to get anything done at all if circumstances are unusual". So first, you should be reviewing the portage sections in the Gentoo handbook till you understand it all. Some things cannot be done on a wing and a prayer, this is one of them. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
