Since reading the ebuild is not the _friendly_ way to get this information, let me help you install the software to make this easy... emerge -ajv app-portage/elogv (ncurses, which is text with colors) or emerge -ajv app-portage/elogviewer (GTK+ based utility, perhaps with GUI) Now add these lines to /etc/portage/make.conf (/etc/make.conf on old systems) PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save" PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="warn error info log qa" Then create this directory as root with this command: mkdir -p /var/log/portage/elog Then as root add your normal user to the portage group with this command: gpasswd -a <username> portage (replace <username> with your normal user's name and do not use the < > Then issue: newgrp as that user or logout of Linux and log back in (you do _not_ need to reboot). Then you can issue "elogv" or start elogviewer from the desktop entry and read the logs of your files. Hope this helps. Happy Gentooing!
