this is the tail end of the screen output that i get from running 'emerge gentoo-stats'. the sole dependency (that seems to be doing the crashing) is MIME-Base64 (2.12-r2)... >>> Source unpacked. >>> It appears that MIME-Base-64 is already compiled; skipping. >>> (clean to force compilation) >>> Install MIM-Base64-2.12-r2 into /var/tmp/portage/MIME-Base64-2.12-r2/image/ category dev-perl make: *** No rule to make target `install'.

Hey Nick Got 3 users now on new installs that are having exact same problems here :( Gerk
Looks like there may be some stale file left over in portage's build dirs. A simple "emerge clean" or "rm -rf /var/tmp/portage/*" should fix it.
