What does "df /var/tmp" show at this point? It sounds like you may b running out of room. If so, either free up some space or change the setting for PORTAGE_TMPDIR in /etc/make.conf to point somewhere with more free space. If you have had other emrges fail, it may be that /var/tmp/portage is becoming cluttered, in which case: rm -fr /var/tmp/portage > Can anyone pls help me out of this situation coz its > really hard to compile the kernel again and again or > atleast is there a way so that i can just install the > already created image of kde ... Why would you need to recompile the kernel because of a KDE installation failure? -- Neil Bothwick Unsolicited advice is the junk mail of life
