GRUB install error [SOLVED]

I get the following error when I emerge GRUB:

make[3]: *** [check-TESTS] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `blahblahblah`
make[2]: *** [check-am] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `blahblahblah`
make[1]: *** [check] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `blahblahblah`
make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1

Did it install and I can continue with my Gentoo installation or what should I do?

That doesn't look good.
Are you trying to "emerge GRUB"?
Or "emerge grub"?

But I would think with the first one it would just say no ebuilds to satisfy GRUB.

I'm using grub not GRUB

Alright. As I look through the little amount of the emerge I can still see on screen this is what I get.

What I don't get is the Making check in stage2. I'm using a stage3. I think that's why it's messing up. Plus it's a test. Do you think it installed and for some reason it's using the wrong test or something?

The stage2 that it is referring to is part of grub.
Nothing to do with the fact that you are doing a stage 3 install.

Have you had any other problems emerging stuff?

No, this is the only problem I've had.

Have you tried "emerge lilo"?
Could you post your /etc/make.conf?

Well, I'd like to use GRUB (I heard it's better, wouldn't really know)

Here's my make.conf

CFLAGS="-02 -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
FEATURES="sandbox ccache autoaddcvs buildpkg collision-protect cvs digest distcc distlocks fixpackages sign test"

IMO Grub is better. I just figured if you were having problems emerging grub, emerging lilo might work.

The only thing I see in your make.conf file is no USE flags. But you have FEATURES. I don't know if that replaces USE or not.

So I am not sure what else you could do.
Have you been to the IRC, there is always somebody in there.
I have only been using Gentoo for just over a week.
This is my make.conf, I don't know if it will help you or not.
My USE flags are optimized for kde and not gnome.

Code:

---

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
PORTAGE_TMPFS="/dev/shm"
USE="-gtk -gnome qt kde dvdr alsa cdr"
/etc/make.conf (END)

---

It is to late now, time for sleep.

FEATURES just spesify what features portage should use, for example ccache if you have emerged it...
