37 I now tried to emerge python as first package, before portage. This
38 results in the same, since i have problems setting the PATH right. The
39 portage i use to bootstrap the prefix comes from prefix-launcher, and
40 (as all portage's do) insists on setting the PATH to some known value
41 (which doesn't include the dirs of the to-bootstrap prefix, and hence
42 misses the just installed python, but rather gets the python 2.4 from
43 prefix-launcher.
