I'm trying to emerge python 2.7 on my gentoo server, somehow it's not installed any more.
eselect python list
Available Python interpreters:
[1] python3.3 *
If I try to emerge it like emerge -a python:2.7 it'll fail with the error:
* ERROR: dev-lang/python-2.7.6::gentoo failed (install phase):
* emake failed
*
* If you need support, post the output of `emerge --info '=dev-lang/python-2.7.6::gentoo'`,
* the complete build log and the output of `emerge -pqv '=dev-lang/python-2.7.6::gentoo'`.

Use emerge @preserved-rebuild to rebuild packages using these libraries
Various sources mentioned a problem with the readline library so I masked the latest buggy version like someone else advised in this forum post.
Installed versions: 6.2_p1(02:03:23 PM 06/15/2014)
is now the latest installed version which shouldn't contain the bug.
Unfortunately the problem persists.
I uploaded the full build log: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/67c66e859b6625020493
Any idea what's wrong there?
Thank you!
