edit /etc/make.conf uncomment the line that reads PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage That's where all the logs will go. Just read through them at your pleasure. Often there will be multiple files created for each compile, I have a hunch that there's one for pre_inst, one for inst, and one for post_inst. Anyhow the important messages almost always show up in the last file. W > Dumping all the emerge output to file and searching for the messages > does not seem promising too...
