Redirect the screen output to a text file so you can use less/nano etc to view it and copy it ... emerge -pvuDN world > emerge_output_text

Thanks Jonathan, I like that redirect tip, I put that in my notes.

There are a few other tips to keep in mind when working with portage.
If you have a list of packages and it keeps failing on the first package, use this one

Code:

---

emerge -avu --skip-first

---

If you want portage to keep going until it just cannot continue, use this.

Code:

---

emerge -avu --keep-going

I am confused, I see and saw Mike Tbob as last to post, but I do not see his or your post Mike. I see Jonathan as previous or last post.

Solved..sorry i did not see that there was a page 1 and 2. I was only looking at page one of the posts.

I did a re emerge of net-fs/samba. I don't understand part of the (build), <--not sure if that is the correct term. I think it could be related to my problem. I need help in interpreting the following.

Code:

---

* QA Notice: Missing soname symlink(s):
 *
 *        usr/lib/libdmallocthcxx.so.5 -> libdmallocthcxx.so.5.5.2
 *        usr/lib/libdmalloc.so.5 -> libdmalloc.so.5.5.2
 *        usr/lib/libdmalloccxx.so.5 -> libdmalloccxx.so.5.5.2
 *        usr/lib/libdmallocth.so.5 -> libdmallocth.so.5.5.2
 *

>>> Installing (1 of 1) dev-libs/dmalloc-5.5.2-r3
 * checking 23 files for package collisions
>>> Merging dev-libs/dmalloc-5.5.2-r3 to /
--- /usr/
--- /usr/lib/

---

What is a QA notice? A soname? I will also do more web searches on this But more especially what does, or what are the implications of. this:

usr/lib/libdmalloc.so.5 -> libdmalloc.so.5.5.2i am wondering if I need an earlier version of libdmalloc.

No idea and Google doesn't help much.
Did you get things to compile?

for soname see here ... scroll down to Version numbering, sonames and symlinks ;)

Thanks Jonathan, that was a great link on "soname". Meanwhile here is a partial copy and paste of revdep-rebuild.
