Emerge from wmii fails every time... argument list too long

[ccondon]

just recently got a desktop and installed gentoo (my third or fourth install), and I am having a small problem.
Every time I try to emerge a package from in wmii, the package fails. Here is an example (this was htop, but every package basically ends the same way):

* Messages for package sys-process/htop-0.7:

I've looked at the two bugs listed there, and maybe I'm missing something. If I ctrl-alt-f1 and go to a terminal, things compile fine.

Here is my emerge --info -v from in X:

I had the issue with $vga when installing off of the 2008.0 livecd, and I see those corrupted-looking characters in the first one, but does anyone know why this happens or how to get rid of them? I havent modified wmii at all... is there a setting that will fix this?
