Benny, welcome to the club. Try "env-update" then source /etc/profile. The env-update command straightens out all the /etc/env.d directories for the new software that you installed. You're at the hard part, here, so keep going. After that, just post for us the output from "emerge --info" and a little basic info about the machine you're running.
