| I think you should just be able to create the directory again, then create two files called "world" and "config" (without the quotes of course) and that should get emerge working again. You will have lost the list of packages in your world file though so you might have to add them again to the world file manually. |

The files do not exist, create them by:
| Code: | | touch /var/lib/portage/world /var/lib/portage/config |
EDIT: typo |
