Doing "emerge --resume --skip-first" seems to have had the intended effect: lapack-atlas, R, and octave emerged with no very ominous messages. The final messages from emerge were the following:

R and octave both work now! That's a big relief. Thanks again! John -- John P. Burkett Department of Economics University of Rhode Island Kingston, RI 02881-0808 USA phone (401) 874-9195
