emerge -u kdeadmin always fails on one of my Gentoo installations, however my second box had no problems. I was unable to determine any further information other than that posted in the forum (URL above). At the time of writing, nobody has replied. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge kdeadmin 2. wait for it... 3. observe error. ;) Actual Results: checking if kuser should be compiled... yes checking if lilo-config should be compiled... yes checking if secpolicy should be compiled... yes configure: creating ./config.status Good - your configure finished. Start make now !!! ERROR: kde-base/kdeadmin-3.2.1 failed. !!!

Manually running configure and make on the source seems to work fine (without the ebuild). Expected Results: Compiled. Disabling distcc from FEATURES made no difference.

don't think we can be of much help, the output doesn't really say what's wrong, but it's most like unsermake related.
I think you are right. I got it to work now. It seems simply unsetting $UNSERMAKE wasn't sufficient, and I actually had to remove it from my /etc/env.d/blah setting as well. Sorry for the troubles. Perhaps unsermake can be included in portage where ebuilders can have the option of utilizing it? At the very least, this could prevent further portage problems regardless of whether Gentoo developers actually used it or not. Thanks for helping out anyway.
unsermake is in portage...Look in the Desktop area of the forums.
Wow - that was quick! Thanks man.
closing as a cantfix as it seems unsermake related.
