Try this: ================================================ # locate /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop/make.defaults /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop/parent /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop/virtuals ================================================ When you list a symlink make sure that you do not have a trailing / i.e.: # ls -la /etc/make.profile/ total 12 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 54 Aug 30 20:36 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 81 Aug 30 20:36 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 655 Jul 26 21:30 make.defaults -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3 Jul 26 21:30 parent -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 271 Jul 26 21:30 virtuals but: # ls -la /etc/make.profile lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 54 Sep 2 08:41 /etc/make.profile -> /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop HTH -- Regards, Mick
