I'm wondering if someone can help me with installing the driver for my Radeon graphics card. This has happened twice in a row where I get the following error:

Code:
>>> Failed to emerge sys-libs/pam-1.1.8-r2, Log file:

>>>  '/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/pam-1.1.8-r2/temp/build.log'

 * Messages for package sys-libs/pam-1.1.8-r2:

 * ERROR: sys-libs/pam-1.1.8-r2::gentoo failed (compile phase):
 *   emake failed


The reason I'm posting this in the 'Multimedia' section of the gentoo forum is because I got this error only after installing 'x11-base/xorg-drivers' and 'x11-drivers/radeon-ucode' and setting the 'VIDEO_CARDS' variable in my make.conf to "radeon". Before I did any of this, I emerged @world with the 'update, deep, with-bdeps=y, & newuse' options. After installing the two packages and updating make.conf, I try to emerge @world again with 'changed-use & deep' options and get the above error.

Can anyone help me with this frustrating problem?
(It might help to know that I'm using the Con Kolivas kernel. I didn't have this problem with the standard 'gentoo-sources'. I don't know if this is related to the issue or not.)

No one is going to be able to tell without seeing the error :wink:

Please pastebin the log located /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/pam-1.1.8-r2/temp/build.log If you don't have it installed, wegetpaste is a great tool since it will pastebin any file when invoked like so: wegetpaste /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/pam-1.1.8-r2/temp/build.log or the output of a command like so emerge --info | wegetpaste

Apologies if I take a while to respond. I'm currently working on the dematerialization circuit for my blue box.
