Perhaps you tell us, what exactly your problem is, glass spheres are not very common here. Also what does this have to to with amd64?
Hi Andreas, thanks for taking the time to reply. My Crystal ball isn't working w/ the weather right now, either. ;)
The issue I am getting during the install process happens when I try to "emerge system", and while it's working on coreutils:

I posted it to this list a week or so ago. I also asked in the support forums on gentoo.org, where I was told this is related to a known bug specific to the AMD64 platform (does not happen on x86 32-bit install).
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77440
Something to do w/ a Perl problem? I honestly don't know, I am ignorant of a lot of these things (I am trying to learn Linux). I have tried doing a one-shot emerge of Perl, then going back and re-doing the emerge system (this worked for me once before on another Perl related problem), but this also failed. This is only my second Linux install (well, second attempt, not there yet), so a lot of things are new to me. I don't even know _what_ the error is (which is why I sound so ignorant in my eMails).
The last time I encountered a 'bug' during the install, a fix became available w/in a few days. I think I was lucky w/ my timing. I have become very frustrated lately w/ the amount of time I am putting into getting gentoo installed on my computer, and not having anything to show for it (other than a 4-week long SSH session on my LAN). I will not continue to allow my investment to sit idle while I twiddle my thumbs waiting for my old computer to 'work' on something... So I thought I would ask for help here one last time.
Thanks again for taking the time to reply. The gentoo community is one reason I decided to try to learn Linux with this platform. Thanks again.
