The crash would reveal what is wrong; therefore, I suggest you to recompile the libraries of those packages with debug flags. See http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces Besides that, you might be able to use strace and/or ltrace (with -f parameter; if needed, increase the -s parameter) to see what happens under the hood. I'm suspecting you'll find the cause by inspecting both; because as the trace mixes in evaluation of a Python script, you might need to use strace and/or ltrace to discover which Python script this is. A next step could be to use a debugger on that Python script if the trace, strace and/or ltrace are insufficient to reveal the cause. When you have found the cause, can you file the details in a bug at https://bugs.gentoo.org such that the maintainers are aware of this? Thank you very much in advance. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
