The first error is a dupe, the second error indicates one of two things. Either your /etc/make.profile symlink is wrong, or your ${PORTDIR}/profiles directory is hosed. To fix the first error, you should emerge portage. However that probably won't work until you fix the profile issue. Try: readlink /etc/make.profile And if that returns something like "/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2004.3", then you probably want to make sure that directory is populated. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 114798 ***
