Sure - this error always comes up here, too. Just enter

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=

immediately before emerge, and it works.

PS: And if you get some message concerning some variables which
    are too big (or something like that), enter
      mount -t tmpfs none /var/tmp/portage
    just before emerge (and "umount /var/tmp/portage" afterwards).
    I have to do this for the emerge of a few packages - I think
    it's because of my 17 TB filesystem.
