I may be wrong but I think a default Gentoo 64-bit install to the level of @system booting the machine and little at all in /var/lib/portage/world won't install the 32-bit emulation libraries. Run eix -I emul-linux-x86 to see which ones you have installed and equery depends to see what packages depend on each one you do have installed. (If any) Hope this helps, Mark
