Re: [gentoo-dev] Install errors

[Jared H. Hudson]

Your problem is with your /etc/make.conf file most likely.
There was someone else on this list who had the same problem about a 
week ago. You probably accidently uncommented something that was just 
that, a comment, not a commented-out variable, like USE, CHOST, 
CXXFLAGS, CFLAGS

Type the following to see:
grep -v \# /etc/make.conf | grep [a-z]
This command should return something similar to:

USE="slang readline gpm berkdb gdbm tcpd pam libwww ssl alsa nls mitshm 
perl python esd gif sdl vorbis ogg gtk X opengl mozilla mmx 3dnow sse 
java postgres ldap lame bonobo aalib oss libg++"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon -march=athlon -O3 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon -march=athlon -O3 -pipe"

If you get anything other than CAPITALWORD="text text" It's probably a 
comment, and should be commented with a # in front of it.
