emerge info
sounds like the rsync failed to set the /usr/portage/eclass. try to emerge sync again.
Perhaps I should post my emerge info here @Daniel Black try to emerge sync again It doesnot work?
emerge info and ls /usr/portage/eclass contents of /etc/make.conf. Anything else you may think is wrong. Consider joining irc and asking in #gentoo. There is very little here to determine whats wrong.
I'm hoping you've worked this out or got help on irc. I can't work it out from the information you've given me.
