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
[/quote]

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.)

When when emerge failed it provided some guidance about what to look at, for example: emerge --info build.log build environment emerge -pv output . You can emerge wgetpaste and provide that info by using
Code:
wgetpaste /path/to/file
and
Code:
command | wgetpaste
and posting the url's returned. emake failed is not a useful comment, it covers too many sins. Hopefully the build.log will specify a more exact error.
