Hi, I installed cups 1.1.18 on a fresh gentoo 1.4rc2 system, but when I start CUPS, cupsd starts eating all available CPU, and does nothing.

when browsing to localhost:631 Konqueror says "Could not connect to http://localhost:631/

when using commandline utils such as lpq, they can't reach the server.

/var/log/cups/error_log shows:
Code:
I [10/Jan/2003:07:25:16 +0100] Listening to 7f000001:631
I [10/Jan/2003:07:25:16 +0100] Configured for up to 100 clients.
I [10/Jan/2003:07:25:16 +0100] Allowing up to 10 client connections per host.
E [10/Jan/2003:07:25:36 +0100] Scheduler shutting down due to SIGTERM.
(The last line just indicates that I stopped the service with /etc/init.d/cupsd stop.)

My /etc/hosts contains both my hostname and localhost pointing to 127.0.0.1

I really don't understand why cupsd won't either run normally or exit with an understandable error message! Any ideas?

The problem was that cups was busy reading all gzipped ppd's, which it apparently does when run for the first time. Because I had other emerges going, it lasted quite long. Now it works!
