Please sanitize your make.conf file. I am seeing some lines ending with $. Not all lines have the closing quotes. Your global USE flags contain some that no longer exist (Dale's favourite "hal" being one of them :) ) Also, I have 32GB ram in my desktop and I do have a swap partition. When I am working, it does get used. Software keeps using more memory. So do 27 cc jobs (jobs 9 for make and jobs 3 for emerge). I would re-condiser not using swap unless you are certain you will never need more than 16gb. (Eg. No graphical desktop running a few webbrowsers) -- Joost -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
