Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I followed this http://blogs.pwmn.net/korkakak/2008/06/04/gentoo-i-unmerged-python-now-what which worked - in the end. couple of caveats tho for anyone 'that follows' get python from their site as the ftp link in this article is out of date. http://www.python.org/download/releases/ also I initially tried 3.01 and that didn't work so i installed 2.6.2 which worked 'out of the box' i then tested with 'emerge' and am now running 'emerge -va python' Cheers guys! Thanks to Dale too! ----------------------- N: Jon Hardcastle E: j...@ehardcastle.com 'Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own.'
