Hi Bo, I'm not really sure, but the message's reference to environment didn't indicate (to me) a problem in the use flags. environment wasn't definite enough for me to even have a clue where to look or what to look for. Perhaps one of the following would work: hyphen not immediately followed by use flags space not allowed after hyphen in use flags Regards, David -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

With the space removed, paludis is much happier. I suspect a better worded message would have let me find the mistake Thank you. David -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Paludis seems to be a favorite amongst experienced users. Which begs the question; Why not redirect all efforts to building a stable, full-featured Paludis as soon as possible and purge portage? One option that I would like is for the build to be done completely in ram until it's compiled and ready to be placed on disk. HDD I/O is the slowest part of the system avoiding it as much as possible on systems with plenty of ram is a good idea. Regards, Richard I'm experimenting with paludis.
