Hey guys,
I know Gentoo has one of the best support communities around. I'm by far no Linux expert, so I was wondering if you could help with this error.
Just did a fresh install, rebooted, set my use flags to:
Code:

USE="X aac acpi alsa -arts bluetooth bzip2 cdparanoia cdr cups dbus directfb dri dvd dvdr dvdread encode fbcon ffmpeg firefox flac ftp gif gnome gphoto2 gtk gtk2 hal -ipv6 java javascript jpeg lm_sensors mad mmx mp3 mpeg mtp mysql ncurses nptl nptlonly nsplugin ogg oggvorbis pdf perl php posix  ppds python qt4 quicktime samba scanner sdl snmp spell spl sqlite3 sse sse2 ssl threads usb visualization vorbis wifi win32codecs xine xvid"


Now I'm trying to do a simple
Code:

emerge --update --deep --newuse world

for my new flags, and I'm getting this error on the first package it wants to install, Locale-gettext-1.05.

Code:

Can't locate ExtUtils/MakeMaker/Config.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl  /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/lib/lperl5/5.8.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 7.

!!! Unable to build! (are you using USE="build"?)
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.


Any help would be appreciate, just trying to get up and running :D .

Thanks guys.

You may be missing some of the base system packages.

What does this command output ?
Code:
# emerge -pv system

My guess is that both of you started with a stage1 or stage2 tarball, and then did "emerge -e system". This is wrong.

The correct command is "emerge system".


The reason this happens is because "emerge -e" can only calculate dependencies correctly if the packages are already installed (as in a stage3 tarball). Trying to install new packages with "emerge -e" results in various errors and circular dependencies.
