You may want to try emerge portage. I think I ran into this once before and that fixed it. There is also a portage rescue tarbal somewhere that you can put on to rescue it. I did that once before too but I can't recall where it is right now. It's on the Gentoo site somewhere. Dale :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
