I just switched from gcc 3.3.6 to 3.4.6, because there are already packages in the stable portage-tree which won't compile with 3.3.x I switched compilers to 3.4.6 using the gcc-config tool, then did an "emerge --sync", but upon doing "emerge -e system" I got an error while installing zlib. Just issuing the command "emerge zlib" gives the same result. Reproducible: Always The error message: >>> Emerging (1 of 1) sys-libs/zlib-1.2.3 to / /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh: line 1200: : File or folder does not exist !!!

It turns out that my description of the problem was inaccurate. (Sorry) This has nothing to do with zlib. The entire portage system is completely dead! I can't emerge a single package. It just throws an error almost identical to the one in the previous post. Here is an example. "emerge kfloppy": >>> Emerging (1 of 1) kde-base/kfloppy-3.5.2 to / /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh: line 1200: : File or folder does not exist !!! ERROR: kde-base/kfloppy-3.5.2 failed. Call stack: ebuild.sh, line 1447: Called source '/usr/portage/kde-base/kfloppy/kfloppy-3.5.2.ebuild' kfloppy-3.5.2.ebuild, line 8: Called inherit 'kde-meta' 'eutils' ebuild.sh, line 1200: Called die !!! died sourcing in inherit() !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.
Does /usr/portage/eclass/ exist? That's where those apparently missing eclasses should be located.
Yes, it exists and contains 202 .eclass files. A further update: My system (for reasons I can't comprehend) now seems completely borked. I shut down the system yesterday after trying to troubleshoot the problem without success, and when I fired it up this morning I can't log in. Not as an ordinary user, nor as root. Not into KDE, and not into a terminal. The system accepts the password - and then presents a new login screen. I really don't have a clue as to why this is. I haven't done anything that should cause something like that to happen. (Oh, and I don't have pam installed, and USE="-pam")
Okay. I solved the problem... somehow. If there ever was a case of computer voodoo, then this was it. Details for the interested can be found here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-492385.html
