Thanks for the responce Tom; however this is a long standing problem. Since i put in a new harddrive and rebuilt gentoo. I didn't have this problem before( on the old harddrive) and i find it quite annoying now.
Could it maybe be that my account is in a group that somehow writes over being in the portage group? Or maybe i just belong to too many groups. Could some people please send me their output for "groups" so i have an idea of where mine should be??? I realize its an odd request, but private emails are welcomed ;). bryce On Wednesday 30 July 2003 04:26 am, Tom Knight-Markiegi wrote: > Hi Bryce > > On Wed, Jul 30, 2003 at 09:56:36PM -0700, Bryce wrote: > > Hey all, my normal user account is in the portage group( i even checked > > /etc/group), however, whenever i use my account to do some emergeing ( > > short of compiling) i always get that "not part of portage group" error. > > Has anyone else seen or dealt with this problem?? > > Have you logged out and back in again?
