I installed with the install-x86-minimal-2007.1.iso because at the time it was the latest on the mirrors. The iso and profile has now been removed. An einfo message to rm /etc/make.profile and create a new profile if you are using this profile would help. When I installed I did not know this was a dev profile. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge --sync 2.emerge portage 3.emerge anything Actual Results: /etc/make.profile is not a symlink and will probably prevent most merges. Expected Results: emerge completed successful ##emerge --info## Portage 2.1.4.4 (default/linux/x86/2008.0, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.24-gentoo-r3 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.24-gentoo-r3 i686 Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.80GHz Timestamp of tree: Fri, 04 Apr 2008 09:00:01 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [disabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17-r1 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.4 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r9 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.23-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config /var/qmail/alias /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="ccach distlocks fixpackages metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="en_US" LINGUAS="en" MAKEOPTS="-j5" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/sunrise" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acl alsa audacious berkdb branding bzip2 cairo ccache cdaudio cdb cdda cddb cdparanoia cdr cdrom cli colordiff cracklib crypt cups cvs dbus dhcp dialup dri dvd dvdarchive dvdr dvdread dvi encode esd expat ffmpeg firefox fontconfig foomaticdb fortran gdbm gedit gimp gimpprint gnome gnome-print gpm gsm gtk gtkhtml gtkspell hal iconv id3tag imagemagick imlib2 ipv6 isdnlog jpeg keyring lame ldap lm_sensors mad mailbox midi mjpeg mmx mp2 mp3 mp4 mp4live mpeg mpeg2 mplayer mudflap mysql nano-syntax nautilus ncurses new-interface nls nptl nptlonly nvidia ogg opengl openmp oss pam pango pcre perl php pmount png portaudio ppds pppd pulseaudio python readline real realmedia reflection rhythmbox session slang sox spamassassin spell spl sse sse2 ssl svg svga svgz tcpd theora tk truetype twolame type1 unicode usb v4l v4l2 video vorbis weather win32codecs wma wmp x86 xcomposite xft xorg zlib" ALSA_CARDS="emu10k1" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="vesa nv nvidia" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
There was never a 2007.1 installcd released to the mirrors. The 2007.1 profile was in a dev subdirectory, most likely with a note that said that it was a development profile and not for general use. The 2007.1 release never happened, so the profile was removed.
