I have been installing Gentoo from the LiveDVD for a few times (long story) Away, each time I get to the point in the AMD X86 instructions where I am to execute emerge from the world (a.k.a ‘emerge avDUN’). This goes fine, finding everything to compile.\ But when the compilation starts, I get a failure saying “make -9“ is an error. After commenting out the ‘MAKEOPTS’ line the emerge seems to be successful. ______________________________________________________________________________ make.conf contents: ______________________________________________________________________________ # These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically # built this stage. # Please consult /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example for a more # detailed example.

You want MAKEOPTS="-j9", not "-9", see "man make" for details.
My-bad. I thought I proof read it. Thank you. Frank
