I can't really answer your question (other than your may have used a really old install CD). You could check to see which make.profile your /etc/make.profile is symlinked to. For example: # ls -la /etc/make.profile lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 56 Jun 8 20:36 /etc/make.profile -> ../usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop Or you can try the eselect tool to list/set a suitable profile; e.g.: # eselect profile list Available profile symlink targets: [1] default/linux/amd64/10.0 [2] default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop * [3] default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/gnome [4] default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/kde [5] default/linux/amd64/10.0/developer [6] default/linux/amd64/10.0/no-multilib [7] default/linux/amd64/10.0/server [8] hardened/linux/amd64/10.0 [9] hardened/linux/amd64/10.0/no-multilib [10] selinux/2007.0/amd64 [11] selinux/2007.0/amd64/hardened [12] selinux/v2refpolicy/amd64 [13] selinux/v2refpolicy/amd64/desktop [14] selinux/v2refpolicy/amd64/developer [15] selinux/v2refpolicy/amd64/hardened [16] selinux/v2refpolicy/amd64/server HTH. -- Regards, Mick
