1 In the recent KDE4 thread, someone mentioned autounmask. I emerge the package
2 and tried to run it. I got the following error:
3
4 Can't locate PortageXS.pm in @INC (@INC contains: .....

6 PortageXS was listed as installed but I emerged it again. Still getting the
7 same error, I ran "locate PortageXS.pm." Locate found it. In the root
8 directory of my drive. My root directory now looks like this:

43 One thing which may have contributed to this is that I recently downloaded and
44 installed Perl v 5.10.0. (I'm doing some Perl work which required the new
