Basically, it's running out of space somewhere. Thanks for the pointer. I think I've figured it it out now. When I set up my laptop, I copied most of /etc/make.conf verbatim from my desktop, including the line... PORTAGE_TMPFS="/dev/shm" That works just fine on my desktop with 8 gigs of ram. Unfortunately, my laptop only has 4 gigs, so that doesn't work quite so well. I've changed that line to... PORTAGE_TMPFS="/tmp" Builds will be slower, no doubt. -- Walter Dnes
