Arggghhh, recent baselayout/portage/profile changes strike again. That's an old location. You need a make.globals - it's kinda important Like me you may find it at /etc/make.globals I also recall recently portage was doing similar things to me - it was also creating one or two zombies every time it ran. Consistently, I would see a zombie in top, and emerge would fail. kill -9 the zombie and emerge would work again. It all went away suddenly one day, around the timne of the release of portage-2.1.something alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
