Hi,
At the end of that same quide there're some hints on most common errors.
So to just continue on with the recompile run:"#emerge --resume --skipfirst".
But that will work only if no other emerge command was run in between.
Later you could investigate about this error.
It seems it just a matter of choosing the right way to authenticate.
