You can set it on the command line for that build only MAKEOPTS="-j1" emerge whatever I too find that it can help builds that otherwise fail, even when it doesn't, the make output gives a better idea of the failure point when parallel builds are not cluttering it up. If the build log is that big, either compress it or just post the last 100 lines. The error message you posted doesn't really say much more than "it broke". -- Neil Bothwick Top Oxymorons Number 1: Microsoft Works
