[gentoo-user] Redirecting emerge.log to pipe: "emergelog(): [Errno 29] Illegal seek"

[Jarry]

Hi,
I'm trying to redirect /var/log/emerge.log to pipe.
I removed original log-file and created pipe with the same
name & permissions, but potrage does not write logs there.
Instead, it just issues message:

emergelog(): [Errno 29] Illegal seek

Where is the problem? Is it actually possible to redirect
emerge-logs to pipes (or syslog)?

Hi Jarry,

#grep LOG /etc/make.conf
# PORT_LOGDIR is the location where portage will store all the logs it
#PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage

If that doesn't solve your problem, then you may need to explain the
problem you're trying to solve. (I'm always annoyed when I'm forced
to change the question instead of getting the answer :)
