Yup, I saw this. I did a -ncurses in the USE variable and
it worked. Finding that solution was due to a mistake. I
had filed a bug and gotten a reply that I thought said but
--ncurses in USE so I did and it worked. That wasn't what
the person meant. However, the bug was closed but I never
got a response as to what was done to fix it. I even
emailed the bug maintainer.

In irc channel #gentoo, it was suggested I do a 'emerge
gcc-config'. I
did, to no avail.
This is very frustrating, because, upto this point, all
that's really
been going on is simple hardware setup, with the
exception of editing
/etc/make.conf. So, to have a show stopping error right
at the
beginning is bad.
Additionally, I'm not seeing any other reports of this
problem from
anyone else. What is it that _I_ could have done that's
different from
everyone else?
The only place for _me_ to make a configuration error and
get this kind of
problem at this point would be, I assume, in
/etc/make.conf. I've tried
numerous variations, including no changes, no P4,
whatever. I always
get the same error.
I just don't understand how this could be happening.
Any ideas?
Thank you.
