I fixed it. Thank God that's over... it was good to go back to the command line a bit for me. Keeps me sharp... even despite the huge allergies I'm experiencing right now. I've also added a note in my notes files to NEVER run anything like emerge --unmerge gcc ever again. That was a huge mistake. Rather, I've found through this experience gcc-config.

Thanks a lot for your help - Without you I'd have to reinstall, since I'm not skilled enough to brave the world of a live-cd and chroot (I think) into my drive to then install gcc. At least, that's what I think my next best option was... I'm not at all familiar with chroot though, so all I can do is speculate. I think I'll go read its man page now in celebration of the restoration of my system. Also, right before I killed my system, I made something, a very very elementary bash script (my first bash script - yay!) to toggle distcc on and off. It's NOT terribly advanced, but it's a start... here it is: localhost ~ # cat /bin/ch_distcc #!/bin/bash # alternates between using make.conf and make.conf.other # in other words, toggles between using distcc or not # this should be where your make.conf lives.

Yes, on Gentoo unmerging gcc will break all programs that depend on libstdc++.so. You should have done a revdep-rebuild --library=libstdc++.so.6 after running gcc-config to select the version of gcc on your system. At this point, if you have some version of gcc installed, try to run gcc-config to select the remaining gcc version. If that doesn't work, and you used FEATURES=quickpkg, you can just untar the binary package of gcc-3.4.5-r1.

My best bet would be quickpkg gcc for libstdc++ glibc at the Desktop, then you'll need to find and and put some libs to the right places at your broken machine, till portage start working. After you get emerge working, you can use the packages generated by quickpkg to quickly restore gcc and glibc and start fixing your GCC installation. If you can't get portage to work, you may need to extract a snapshot to $PORTDIR. If you can't, in any way, you can still extract the quickpkg's using tar... Those are guesses, but, well, worth a try?! Anyway, some guru will point you in the right direction anytime. Some OK ideas have been floated here, but what if our friend doesn't have another working gentoo machine? he needs that for quickpkg. Suggestions for finding the packaged file on one of the dev sites is fine, but someone needs to give the poor guy a url.
