I checked my kernel and found the PROCFS and PSUEDOFS options were in
there. I have added this line to my fstab:

"proc    /proc    procfs  rw    0    0"

I no longer see this message:

> # strace portupgrade vim
> strace: open("/proc/...", ...): No such file or directory
> trouble opening proc file

(Google was my friend here!) However, my problems seem far from over.
When I run strace now (e.g. "strace -o /root/strace.out portupgrade
vim"), nothing happens. Typing 'top' shows this line:

PID USER  PRI NICE SIZE   RES  STATE   TIME  WCPU   CPU   COMMAND
829 root  96  0    1352K  696K STOP    0:00  0.00%  0.00% strace

or sometimes it looks like this:

838 root  8   0    1356K  704K pioctl  0:00  0.00%  0.00% strace

but the strace tool just doesn't want to generate any output. Strangely,
I don't even see ruby appear in the top output when I use strace.

Please guys, I would be so grateful if someone could offer me any advice
or suggestions on this.

Kind regards,

James.
