Are you trying to run emerge as a user? It can only be run as root
('command not found' often indicates that, assuming that the application
is installed, which in this case we know it is. The command cannot be
found in the user's $PATH-- because and so that the user cannot use it--
but in root's $PATH).
So if you missed a step, it was the step of su-ing to root before trying
to run emerge.
HTH,
Holly
