[gentoo-dev] Help!

[GMX]

Hello gentoo-dev,

  I`m writing this via my wifes machine as I`m stuck with a load of
  errors on my gentoo build (fresh).

  I`ve followed the install.txt to the letter, but, when issuing
  cd /usr/portage then scripts/bootstrap.sh I`m met with a load of
  errors, simply put, it doesnt build anything and aborts.

  Because its on another machine I cannot send you the output, but
  most errors appear to be python related "maintainer" pops up a lot
  too (this is with and without "maintainer="yes" in /etc/make.conf.

  I am a Slackware user by defualt so building packages is nothing new
  to me but this has me stumped.

  Please help, as i`m keen to try gentoo! Abd once I have a working
  system you can be sure I`ll donate :-D

  Thank you.

  address in this email.
