There are 2 programs reading emerge log files and displaying them in an aesy format: elogv (ncurses) and elogviwer (X). It is necessary to have the variables PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES and PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM set properly for get these program to work, for example: PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="warn error log" PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save" -- Regards, Alex
