1 Well, I've got the latest, and I bootstrapped the latest portage tree, as
2
3 well as portage itself. Now when trying to emerge, I get this error:

13 In Prefix Portage this is quite dramatic
14
15 since it means you have thrown away yourself.

17 Re-add yourself, or rebootstrap Gentoo Prefix.

117 I have two different AIX systems here. On one of them, this works as it
118
119 should, but on this newest one it fails as indicated above. The difference,
120
121 is on the first, I have a local account on the machine. On the second I do
122
123 not have a local account, but instead it uses a distributed auth system
124
125 called gsa. I'm certain this is what is causing the error, but I don't know
126
127 how to debug this. Any advice ?
