Ahh, a console user? I'd suggest using 'tee', i.e. 'emerge kdeaddons|tee a_log_file'. You'll still get the output to the console, but it will be written to a_log_file also.

Mike, I can understand from this what you need, however I still don't know how to 'capture' those last few lines short of writing them all down, and the compile seems to fail and stuff goes past so fast it scrolls off the top of the screen. Sorry, I'm not more capable of describing it.

What is wanted is the last few lines of the output *before* the compile failed, *and* all the lines of errors as it died. Generally, you'll get one error, and a short cascade of additional errors as the compile dies. If the compile generated a warning, but continued it'll probably have no impact. As for re-downloading from another mirror, that's a waste of effort, as portage checks the MD5 sum of the downloaded file before it unpacks it. So you can be sure you've got the correct file. Damn, I sound mean. Sorry, rather irritated after 9 hours at work alone, with 3 more to go, and tired :( -- Mike Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> p.s. Richard Terry?

Re: [gentoo-user] KDE 3.1 Compile fails at kdeaddons
I've not received any replies on where to find the log file for the compile. The emerge.log simply noted the failure. I downloaded another copy of the kdeaddons from another mirror and it crashed at the same place. I couldn't copy the file anywhere, but it said something I think on line 117. Also I noticed, just before these messages that it said something about lib ogg vorbis having been moved, however it all scrolled off the top of the screen too quickly to catch. Does this help?

You are to be commended for giving Gentoo a whirl given your non-nerdish and non-technical tendencies! Could you post a bit more about the error, such as the last page or so of the error message? -- Stand Fast, tjg. Timothy Grant www.craigelachie.org -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] KDE 3.1 Compile fails at kdeaddons
Hi, After literally days of downloading via my dialup and having got a base kernel etc compiled, I'm now halted at kdeaddons failing to compile. Any suggestions about how to continue. I've heard how good gentoo is, and I've certainly learnt heaps about linux to this point. As I'm not a computer nerd nor technical person could any help be kept simple. I've used Mandrake for a few years, so am familiar with basic file editing, compiling useing tar.gz, configure, make, install etc, so I've some basic skills.
