Ok, please understand I've nearly lost the will to live over this stuff so I may not have googled everything under the sun... however, when I try to emerge sandbox I get the following error:
Code:
checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in `/usr/portage/tmp/portage/sys-apps/sandbox-2.5/work/build-x86':
configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details
!!! Please attach the following file when seeking support:

So, please believe me when I tell you I've tried:
Code:
FEATURES=-sandbox emerge sandbox
Code:
FEATURES="-sandbox -usersandbox" emerge sandbox
and this hasn't worked.
SO
any suggestions gratefully, etc...
