24 As Neil and Charles already said, mail the elogs to yourself. Or you can
25 adjust the various LOG settings in make.conf and view the entries with
26 elogv (cli app) or elogviewer (qt gui app) or just less them - they are
27 in /var/log/portage/elog/
28
29
30 But all of this is CLEARLY laid out in one of the most important man
31 files you have - man 5 make.conf. Why have you not read it?

34 Do yourself a big favour and before you touch anything else on a Gentoo
35 system, do this. It will save you heaps of pain:
36
37 man emerge
38 man 5 portage
39 man 5 ebuild
40 man 5 make.conf
41
42 make sure you understand everything in there.
