Hi!
This all started this morning when I was trying to do 'emerge -e system'.
Problem is I can't get through all 98 ebuilds, but get stuck on any of them. It's a different ebuild every time so I guess it's more of a hardware problem than anything Gentoo. I always get stuck with an errorcode (unexpected end of file or syntax error near unexpected token) in the environment file (like /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/patch-2.5.9/temp/environment this last time). If I check the environment file at the error I find an extra character there. What might cause this, memory, harddrive or motherboard? My Intel motherboard has been suspiciously slow to start up since the beginning... /var is a reiserfs on a raid1, I've also tried raid0 and ext2, but no difference.
Hardware problem?

Moved from Off the Wall to Portage & Programming.
i'd be willing to bet its just portage, and not your system... if you specify what problems you're having in particular, maybe we can help you out a bit.
cheers

Well, again tried 'emerge -e system'
This time I get stuck in app-arch/cpio-2.9-r1
Checking /var/tmp/portage/app-arch/cpio-2.9-r1/temp/environment line 1729 there's ;[ instead of ;; (the [ looks underscored). (I generally use joe for looking at and editing files)
Other times when I get end of file error I've seen an extra underscored @.
This time I get stuck in app-arch/cpio-2.9-r1

Heya,
I do not think it is a hardware Problem. Looks more like your compiler has swalloed some unwanted bits.
My guess would be that some low level librefernce doesnt work anymore as it should. Try to run, damn what was the name
, ...
Damn I just remember the paludis name for it. ( reconcilio) I am sorry.
There is an emerge app that that checks for broken linkage. I post when I get the name or someone else is faster.
Out in the blue you could try reemerge glibc or something like it or it could be more simpler that gcc is looking in the wrong libraries. ( so. eselct could be another aproach to the problem.
Easiest way would be that emerge app thought.
[edit: revdep-rebuild is the name ... I knew I had to press the send button so it comes into my mind
hehe]

I just got home and tried 'emerge -eav world' as well, but got unexpected-end-of-file in an environment file again so gcc was unfortunately not the problem.

Just a wild guess. Do you have a file /etc/portage/bashrc? If yes, please post it here...
The manual said "Requires Windows10 or better" so I installed GNU/Linux...

Need a stage1 tarball? (Unofficial builds)

Hmpf, bugger 
Well, is it now at least the same file or still Random?
If it is the same file you may want to try to sync again.
I am pretty out of Ideas atm.

Does look like the compilation of the app is finished in the sandbox. Now should come some sort of cleanup and copy. Or am I wrong.
I go check it out. (hehe lets hope emerge still works on my box. Since I use paludis for a long time now.)
[edit] HA!
yes, I would check your hd space next. df -h / should do. That would explain this randomness.
Ofc haveing more info with that debug option is agreat idea, too...

Don't think it's diskspace;
Finally got an error with the debug on, only that package part is still quite a lot of text though, doesn't feel good to just paste it here. What would be the best way of sharing it?

The error is always in a ..../temp/environment file for each package, but in a different place each time. I don't know how this file is generated. In the output you posted, it says "The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/coreutils-6.10-r2/temp/environment'". Could you also post that file, especially the lines around 1519?
For that error, no. Here's another one, complete with environment file;

In the files you just posted, the error says there is an unexpected end of file at line 1767 while sourcing the environment. Well, the environment file is longer than that, but it looks corrupted: on line 1766, the 7th character is a null character. There's another null character on line 1770. I don't know how this environment file is being created, but I would guess that it's being generated by concatenating some other file that exist somewhere else on your system. You'll have to track down the file that this is coming from and "fix" it: either by removing the null characters, or, preferably, getting a fresh copy somehow.
Here is what lines 1763-1771 of lvm2_environment from your zipfile look like to me:
Note that those "<nul>"s are actually single null characters.
[edit]
Your bzip2 environment file has even more nul characters, again starting one line before the reported location of the error.
[/edit]
Does anyone else know where these environment files come from or how they're generated?
By the way, whether or not the <nul> characters are visible depends on your editor. In nano, they appear as ^@; in nedit they appear as <nul>.

Honestly at this point I would file a bug. Thats way to deep in the system, you are better off consulting a dev that knows how emerge is written to track this further.
Or MotivatedTea you think you can dig that further?
At least this is beyond what I know. I am sorry. whished I could do more. Good Luck

The null characters are showing up inside what look like a function called make_desktop_entry () (scroll up from the line the error is on). I can see a function with the same name, but different indentation, in /usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass. I would check to see if that file also contains null characters, because it if does, you have a problem with portage.
If there aren't any nulls in there (if the grep command above produces no output), then something's going wrong somwhere else.
I agree with legine: it does look like you might need a portage dev to help track this down. It looks to me like the problem is in one of three places:
1) some file in your portage has gotten corrupted
2) some utility that portage uses to manipulate files has gotten corrupted
3) some other configuration file on your system is being used by portage, and it's corrupted.
fsck'ing your system, as DarrenSmith suggests, isn't a bad idea; at least it can't hurt. (Well, it can't hurt if you do a read-only check, and it shouldn't make things worse to repair any errors found...)
As a last-ditch effort, you could try downloading and unpacking a fresh portage snapshot, then re-installing portage. (I.e., overwrite the portage tree and portage itself with a fresh copy.) Also, if you're using any overlays, disable them temporarily. I believe overlays can override/extend parts portage's eclasses. I'm just guessing here, though. You'll probably need to contact a dev. In the meantime, you could also try searching your harddrive for text files that contain the tring "make_desktop_entry" and also contain null characters.
