When you start after a clean emerge, you get: Error loading perl.so: not found I tried looking for and failed to find: /home/cm/.mcl/plugins/perl.so /usr/local/lib/mcl/plugins/perl.so /usr/games/lib64/mcl/plugins/perl.so If you installed the standard binary distribution, you probably forgot to move the plugin files to one of the above places. A ln -s /usr/games/lib /usr/games/lib64 is one way to get around this problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Portage 2.1.1-r2 (default-linux/amd64/2006.1, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.4-r4, 2.6.18-gentoo-r2 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.18-gentoo-r2 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.6 Last Sync: Mon, 27 Nov 2006 20:50:01 +0000 app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.30 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe -ftracer -fno-ident" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe -ftracer -fno-ident -fno-enforce-eh-specs" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.du.se/pub/os/gentoo http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X alsa apache2 bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts cli cracklib crypt cups dlloader dri dvd elibc_glibc fastcgi fortran gdbm gpm iconv imap input_devices_evdev input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse ipv6 isdnlog java kernel_linux libg++ mono mozilla mp3 mysql ncurses nls nptl nptlonly pam pcre pdf perl php png postgres ppds pppd python readline reflection ruby samba server session spl ssl svg tcpd truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode urandom usb userland_GNU vhosts video_cards_apm video_cards_ark video_cards_ati video_cards_chips video_cards_cirrus video_cards_cyrix video_cards_dummy video_cards_fbdev video_cards_glint video_cards_i128 video_cards_i810 video_cards_mga video_cards_neomagic video_cards_nv video_cards_rendition video_cards_s3 video_cards_s3virge video_cards_savage video_cards_siliconmotion video_cards_sis video_cards_sisusb video_cards_tdfx video_cards_tga video_cards_trident video_cards_tseng video_cards_v4l video_cards_vesa video_cards_vga video_cards_via video_cards_vmware video_cards_voodoo xorg xv zlib zsh-completion" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
