Sorry for assuming that the words 'quitant' and 'enterant' were trivial for a English speaker. Anyway that line was not an error line. Correct me if I am wrong but make usually [always?] shouts the errors with triple asteriks followed by error numbers as in: make[1]: *** [../../dist/public/dbm] Erreur 134 make: *** [export] Erreur 2 package name, make, and error nr are the keyword of my search. > Isn't it possible for non-English speakers to set something like > LANG="en_GB.UTF-8" in /etc/env.d/02locale and then simply `export > LANG=en_GB.UTF-8` before posting their errors? > If it is not a bug of portage to produce error messages in English on a system with non-English locale then it should be a feature of portage to reproduce all error messages in English. -- Fatih
