Ehm, you need to run bootstrap.sh first and then emerge --e system

[Comment 2 Tiago Freire 2005-05-05 09:25:40 UTC]

I ran bootstrap.

[Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2005-05-05 09:51:08 UTC]

Did you really run 

- both bootstrap.sh -f _and_ bootstrap.sh
- or just bootstrap.sh
- but NOT just bootstrap.sh -f (it is not enough)

Seems like you are missing C++ compiler.
