I have the --keep-going option in there. Hm. Does it work if you use the --keep-going option on the command line instead of in make.conf?

I haven't tried that. Your suggestion made me think of something to look at tho. I checked the logs since it records what is being done and the options. I noticed this: 1274924669: *** emerge --with-bdeps --ask --verbose --buildpkg seamonkey gkrellm hddtemp kbackup k3b tkdvd myspell-en screen uptimed scribus autounmask elogv elogviewer flagedit mirrorselect pfl porthole gimp gtkam hugin alsamixergui avidemux smplayer iftop nettop traceroute wireshark pppconfig wvdial iptables pidgin ntp whois hplip http-replicator googleearth hdparm hwinfo lshw smartmontools dosfstools shake sys-power/nut htop iotop lsof links mozilla-firefox adobe-flash gecko-mediaplayer mesa-progs gkrellm-themes 1274924866: emerge (1 of 137) sys-fs/sysfsutils-2.1.0 to / So, emerge picks up on the others but not that one. I then moved it from one section in make.conf and put it in the other. Now it sees the option. I guess it was in the wrong place. For the record, I had it in FEATURES and moved it to the EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS. I guess the last one is where it is supposed to be. I may have copied it to the wrong place since portage would never move things in make.conf. I need better glasses. lol Funny that emerge didn't print a error tho. Thanks for shining a light in the dark tunnel. Dale :-) :-)

If I knew you needed to know, I would have told you. I wish there was a mailing list that only had changes being made to portage. New features and options that we don't know about. Reading the man page just doesn't get it for me. Sometimes I read the man page but just don't quite have that light bulb moment. I think I actually read about that on this list. Someone else was doing a emerge -e world after really borking something and had frequent compile failures. I think he was trying to change the CHOST or something. I remember it was a huge mess. Sorry I didn't know but will try to do better next time. Dale gets his crystal ball out Dale :-) :-)
