Can't emerge system?!

[Kingsblue]

Hi all you gentoo freaks

I really need your help.

1. I recently decided to install Gentoo, and are following guide from scratch booting from a universal liveCD.

Im going for stage1, and all are completed with no problem, until I come to the point where I am emerging my system.
This take ½ min and comes out with failure, which I cant remember since im not home.

-----------------------------------------------------
Code Listing 17: Building the System
# emerge system
-----------------------------------------------------

2. Only thing I thought about twice was this command, which didnt act like I think it should. when I env-update, it didnt return the * caching line, but only said >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache!!??
----------------------------------------------------------
Code Listing 4: Chrooting into the new environment

# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
# env-update
* Caching service dependencies...
# source /etc/profile
-----------------------------------------------------------

3. Also I figured this command shouldnt be neccesary if I can use the scripts/bootstrap.sh in the previous step:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Code Listing 14: Removing linux-headers from your system

# emerge -C linux-headers
# emerge --oneshot --nodeps linux26-headers
# scripts/bootstrap.sh
--------------------------------------------------------

All help appriciated, as you might see im not really a hardcore gentoo user, but doing my best.

Best regards

Yes, I do have connection, otherwice I wouldnt have come this far, I used mirrorlist ealiere with no prob, and I too got portage downloaded.

It's not net connection, I double checked.

BTW.: I corrected first code from portage to emerge system, did copypaste the wrong code, sry.

Im at work now, so cant write it out, but as I kept it clean I can almost remember it.

But its identical as the one set in the guide!

I dont know if im able to post it when I get home, links or lynx isnt on my gentoo yet, so im probably not able to get online with any browser.

I've also tried this, it was because i just read the guide very fast.

Did you do this:

From gentoo handbook:
Copy DNS Info

One thing still remains to be done before we enter the new environment and that is copying over the DNS information in /etc/resolv.conf. You need to do this to ensure that networking still works even after entering the new environment. /etc/resolv.conf contains the nameservers for your network.

I have had similar problems (I have installed gentoo several times before, and have only occasionally seen these errors) I downloaded all the packages, but when I ran the emerge system to compile it, it was compiling bzip2, and threw several errors, all saying:

bzip2.c:557: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules

now, I have found that this is caused by trying to compile programs written around older versions of gcc, but since I'm using gcc 3.3.4, these errors occasionally show up. I have never seen these errors on an install, and generally when I do see them, there were other ways to install the program that worked better. in this instance, I don't know what to do since it occured during the install process. any help would be appreciated

Yeah, I copied the DNS info to my working enviroment.

I did the optional mirrorselect, which might have been the prob.
I later read the make.conf.example which told me, that inserting mirrors can cause probs, if you do not manually insert the official gentoo mirror at last, which I didnt as the guide didnt say anything about this.

Now I rsync with europian mirrors, and not specific mirrors.

I did it all again from start, and are emerging system once again, which has been going on for an hour soon with no errors.

Weird as I did the exact same things as before, if its not the mirrorselect, which I skipped this time.
