Did you nuke python as well? If so, you are in deep shit and I would |
| 14 |
suggest you get some kind soul to tar.gz a working python for you that |
| 15 |
you can untar on your machine. You basically need a toolchain, portage, |
| 16 |
python and maybe a few other things installed and working so you can |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
emerge -e world |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
and fix everything in one 48 hour process. I wouldn't even try identify |
| 21 |
what is missing and what isn't, my system lists 35000+ files |
| 22 |
in /usr/lib, so rebuilding world is probably the least painful fix |
