The problem is that you're specifying multiple parallel threads with MAKEOPTS >1. It's supposed to speed things up. One thread creates an interim file, a 2nd thread depends on the interim file, and a 3rd thread deletes the interim file. Now guess what happens if the 3rd thread deletes the interim file before the 2nd thread is done with it... oops. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
