In fact *every single python module* has this error, which seems to install a python with no modules. So, I can hypothesis that the following happened: - The emerge -e recompiled some essential part of my system involving the development of dynamically loaded modules, and it did it wrongly (I am using ~x86 btw, so maybe I am asking for this?) - It then went on to recompile python with all its modules failing to import. - This python was installed, leaving me with no working portage. I now have to work out exactly what was installed that broke this. The thing is though, that as far as I can tell, gcc and binutils do seem to work. I really don't want to go messing with those especially without portage to configure them properly for gentoo. Does anyone have any more ideas? If I end up having to reinstall the OS I probably will not be putting gentoo back, as it took me 4 days to have it working exactly as I would like and I can't spare that sort of time right now. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
