Thanks for the input. =

I tried it on both of my Gentoo = boxes. One worked and the problematic one gave me the following = output;

# gcc test.c -o = test

gcc: installation problem, cannot = exec `as': No such file or directory

 

I’m going to try quickpkg = again but this time from the working box. The first pkg came from an older = livecd.

 

If you think of anything please let = me know. Thanks again.

I've got python back using quickpkg like you suggested. Now I'm working = on

It may not be the C compiler at all. To check this copy the following = code into a file called test.c:



#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)

Yes, you should be able to use that. Python is SLOTted, so even if = your
other box is using a different SLOT, you can emerge the version you
need, quickpkg it, copy it over to the first machine and unpack it
there.

quickpkg's are just tarballs so you can even use good old tar and
bunzip2 if you managed to go to the next step of dohness and unmerge =
portage as well :-)

btw, how did you manage to unmerge python? That's in system and = portage
usually goes to great lengths to prevent you doing just that
