27 Since reading the ebuild is not the _friendly_ way to get this information,
28 let me help you install the software to make this easy...
29
30 emerge -ajv app-portage/elogv (ncurses, which is text with colors)
31 or
32 emerge -ajv app-portage/elogviewer (GTK+ based utility, perhaps with GUI)
33
34 Now add these lines to /etc/portage/make.conf (/etc/make.conf on old systems)
35
36 PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save"
37 PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="warn error info log qa"
38
39 Then create this directory as root with this command:
40
41 mkdir -p /var/log/portage/elog
42
43 Then as root add your normal user to the portage group with this command:
44
45 gpasswd -a <username> portage (replace <username> with your normal user's name
46 and do not use the < >
47
48 Then issue:
49
50 newgrp
51
52 as that user or logout of Linux and log back in (you do _not_ need to reboot).
53
54 Then you can issue "elogv" or start elogviewer from the desktop entry and read
55 the logs of your files.
56
57 Hope this helps.

59 Happy Gentooing!
