and more specifically, read what happened during the configure process?

I'm sure there is some kind of log, however since I don't know what log that is or where it would be I can offer an idea. You could pipe the output to a file. To have it put in a file call portage_log.txt that lives at /etc/ you would type
| Code: | | emerge xmms >> /etc/portage_log.txt |
I'm pretty sure that would work. What I am not sure of is if the output would even touch the screen, I think it would not. So you will get no progress indication until the entire ebuild completes. I'm sure though (althought like I said before I don't know where) that there has to be some log that captures what goes on.
Anyway, maybe this is helpful and maybe it is not. Use it only if you think it is!

emerge ... 2>&1 | tee emerge.log

should let you see the output on the screen and log it into a file. Another option is typescript. Not sure whether it is in gentoo as an ebuild. |
