You manually (without using package manager) built Python.
Created attachment 204150 [details] still not merging Actually, I have installed python using emerge, and it still fails..
Post the output of: type -p python type -p python2.6 python -c 'import sys; print(sys.prefix)' /usr/bin/python -c 'import sys; print(sys.prefix)'
These indicate that python is installed to /usr/local. I've only used portage to install/update python. There is a python binary in both /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin, and they appear to be hardlinked. crafty_pvr ~ # type -p python /usr/local/bin/python crafty_pvr ~ # type -p python2.6 /usr/local/bin/python2.6 crafty_pvr ~ # python -c 'import sys; print(sys.prefix)' /usr/local crafty_pvr ~ # /usr/bin/python -c 'import sys; print(sys.prefix)' /usr
(In reply to comment #6) > crafty_pvr ~ # type -p python > /usr/local/bin/python It means that the first python found in directories included in PATH variable is "/usr/local/bin/python"... > crafty_pvr ~ # python -c 'import sys; print(sys.prefix)' > /usr/local > crafty_pvr ~ # /usr/bin/python -c 'import sys; print(sys.prefix)' > /usr The outputs of /usr/local/bin/python and /usr/bin/python are different, so these binaries aren't hardlinked. You have Python installed in both places. You should remove manually installed Python in /usr/local, so that Portage use Python installed by Portage (in /usr).
