As Neil and Charles already said, mail the elogs to yourself. Or you can adjust the various LOG settings in make.conf and view the entries with elogv (cli app) or elogviewer (qt gui app) or just less them - they are in /var/log/portage/elog/ But all of this is CLEARLY laid out in one of the most important man files you have - man 5 make.conf. Why have you not read it? Do yourself a big favour and before you touch anything else on a Gentoo system, do this. It will save you heaps of pain: man emerge man 5 portage man 5 ebuild man 5 make.conf make sure you understand everything in there. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
