portage upgrade issue

I'm getting the following output after typing "emerge" --

portage: the directory specified in your PORTAGE_TMPDIR variable, ","
does not exist. Please create this directory or correct your PORTAGE_TMPDIR settting.

How do I correct this? I emerged the latest and greatest and now get this...

What is the output of:

no output at all. I typed grep PORTAGE_TMPDIR /etc/make.conf and all it will do is give me a command prompt.

Do you see anything related when looking through the file? What about in /etc/make.globals?

for /etc/make.globals --

and for make.conf --
# Build-time functionality
# ========================
#
# The USE variable is used to enable optional build-time functionality. For
# example, quite a few packages have optional X, gtk or GNOME functionality
# that can only be enabled or disabled at compile-time. Gentoo Linux has a
# very extensive set of USE variables described in our USE variable HOWTO at
# http://www.gentoo.org/doc/use-howto.html
#
# The available list of use flags with descriptions is in your portage tree.
# Use 'less' to view them: --> less /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc <--
#
# 'ufed' is an ncurses/dialog interface available in portage to make handling
# useflags for you. 'emerge app-admin/ufed'
#
# Example:
#USE="X gtk gnome -alsa"

# Host Setting
# ============
#
# If you are using a Pentium Pro or greater processor, leave this line as-is;
# otherwise, change to i586, i486 or i386 as appropriate. All modern systems
# (even Athlons) should use "i686-pc-linux-gnu"
#
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"

# Host and optimization settings
# ==============================
#
# For optimal performance, enable a CFLAGS setting appropriate for your CPU
#
# -mcpu=<cpu-type> means optimize code for the particular type of CPU without
# breaking compatibility with other CPUs.
#
# -march=<cpu-type> means to take full advantage of the ABI and instructions
# for the particular CPU; this will break compatibility with older CPUs (for
# example, -march=athlon-xp code will not run on a regular Athlon, and
# -march=i686 code will not run on a Pentium Classic.

Definately some stuff missing. I'd take a look at /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/files/README.RESCUE
