Created attachment 47588 [details]
Console output of emerge dev-util/indent

I've attached a gzipped copy of the console output when I attempted to emerge
indent.

Updated the URL for the bug as this problem is being discussed in the forum.

[Comment 3 Derek Berube 2005-01-04 07:23:04 UTC]

As indicated in the forum, emerging with the following command line fixed the probelm:

MAKEOPTS="-j1" emerge -uv indent

For those who are interested (also from the forum),

-j1 means that only one command is run by make at a time. This is in fact the default behaviour but most people have MAKEOPTS="-j2" in their /etc/make.conf which means that make tries to run two commands in parallel.
