The error message is: scons: *** Do not know how to make target `6'. Stop. scons: building terminated because of errors. Changing MAKEOPTS to include -l9 allows the emerge to succeed. I believe the problem is the line "scons ${MAKEOPTS/-l[0-9]} ...", which will not have the desired effect if the argument to -l has more than one digit---it leaves the second digit in MAKEOPTS, which in my case leaves a '6' on the command line, resulting in the error. A similar error occurs if MAKEOPTS includes -l2.5, and I get different error using --load-average=9. The error message asks for me to include the file /var/tmp/portage/media-gfx/blender-2.48a-r3/work/blender-2.48a/scons.config, but that file doesn't seem to exist. I will attach the complete build log. # emerge --info
