???? You want to share your compilation tasks with others.... good. Do you have enough rights to launch emerge localy ? So you have to launch emerge with feature distcc on. What about the other hosts that may help you compiling ? They have to run the distcc daemon, with your IP on the authorized list. Do you have enough privileges to manage/configure the distccd daemon on other machines ? That is the question. You have to ask for it to the admin if you cannot do it in your own. I just want to let you know that shared compilation faces some issues depending on packages: I failed to upgrade gcc using distcc, but disabling it was a fix for my gcc-4.3.2 emerge process.
