I need some help

I accidentally removed python, that was mistake number one.
because now my emerge was broken.
luckily i found this fix,
manually installed python and (r)emerged python.
Code:
cd /root
wget http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/Python-2.4.3.tar.bz2
tar jxvf Python-2.4.4.tar.bz2
cd Python-2.4.4
./configure
make
./python /usr/bin/emerge python



Then i still got a lot of:
Code:
python: error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.4.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

so i thought lets do a "revdeprebuild -p" but that also complained about the python libraries.
so i thought maybe i can manually rebuild some packages first
i started with portage (since i think emerge is part of that, plz correct me when wrong)

the result:
Code:
bash: emerge: command not found


HELP

P.S. i've got a working install of gentoo on another partition, mayb that's some help

Sade,

See this thread it was prompted by another file but the recovery process is the same.

If the tarball you need is not on the tinderbox, my last post describes how to recover your system

It might not be finding /usr/bin/python, so try:

Code:
# cd /usr/bin
# ln -s /usr/local/bin/python


EDIT: Nevermind, see above

thx for the reply,

which tarball am i looking for?
i seem to have misplaced my emerge, is this in the portage tarball?

[edit]
i've downloaded the portage-2.1.3.19 tarball and extracted it in my root this is the result:
Code:
en / # tar -xjf portage-2.1.3.19.tbz2
bzip2: (stdin): trailing garbage after EOF ignored
en / # emerge -va portage
/usr/bin/python: error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.4.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


[edit2]
I downloaded the python2.4.4-r6 package and did the same with that, everything now seems to work

Do i need to do anything more?

Sade,

If they are files colliding with themselves, thats ok. Look over the list and see what the collisions are.
Post a your emerge command and a few of the collisions.

 *      /usr/sbin/regenworld
 *      /usr/sbin/emerge-webrsync
 *      /usr/sbin/env-update
 *      /usr/sbin/quickpkg
 *      /usr/sbin/emaint
 *      /usr/sbin/dispatch-conf
 *      /usr/sbin/update-etc
 *      /usr/sbin/etc-update
 *      /usr/sbin/archive-conf
 *      /usr/sbin/update-env
 *      /usr/sbin/fixpackages
 *      /usr/bin/emerge
 *      /usr/bin/ebuild
 *      /usr/bin/tbz2tool
 *      /usr/bin/repoman

Sade,

It looks like its installing things over the top of things already there, which seems fair if you removed a aprt of something and are now having to rebuild it all.
