Here is the output: [EMAIL PROTECTED] trey $ ls -lh /etc/make.profile/ total 21K lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Nov 3 09:49 default-x86-1.4 -> /usr/portage/profiles/default-x86-1.4/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 789 Jul 16 09:52 make.defaults -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.5K Jul 25 21:43 packages -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 485 Oct 16 2002 packages.build -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.2K Jul 20 10:11 use.defaults -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.6K Jul 27 10:23 virtuals It looks as though the directory is symlinked correctly, but I still get the message. Should I still delete the directory and all files in it, then recreate a directory called /etc/make.profile symlinked to /usr/portage/profiles/default-x86-1.4/?
