The first package in "emerge gnome" that gives me problems is the

There's your problem -- python-3 is installed by gentoo along with a
warning that you
shouldn't use it for anything important, like emerging other packages
for example.
#eselect python list
Available Python interpreters:
[1] python2.7 *
[2] python3.1
On amd64 you may still have python-2.6, so that's the one you should
switch to
using eselect python.
I've already changed that yesterday. I'm am now using python-2.6 and
have re-emerged gnome. After that the problem still existed. The only
packages I've installed so far after the base system is xorg-x11 and
gnome. This morning I started an "emerge --emptytree world" to rebuild
everything with python-2.6. Maybe tonight it will be done and I'll have
more information. Apparently and new install on an amd64 box defaults
to python3.
