 |

I was uninstalling pyhon2.2 when it returned an error message, I got scared and closed the window, and now emerge does not work. Everytime I type something like
emerge [whatever]
it returns the following error message
luis@sqlla luis $ emerge
/usr/bin/env: python2.2: No such file or directory
I suspect the error was cause because I was on the directory /usr/lib/python2.2 when issued the command :
>>> emerge unmerge python
Can emerge be fixed ?
I check the /etc/make.conf file but couldnt do much but stare and look for any reference to python2.2 ...
Thanks ! |

portage requires python. I'm not sure how you'd fix this. Check this out: /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/files/README.RESCUE

LOL! I just answered that same question with that same thread. 
How did you find that?

I had cited that thread a time or two already. Think it was hard to find with forum search though even when I remembered its contents more or less 
Nice solution, BTW.

Although you've probably incorporated it into your AI subsystem, "unmerging AND python" brought it up for me.

Just out of curiosity... Why were you trying to unmerge python?

Well, I tried "unmerge AND python" and did not get it. Guess you got lucky. I wouldn't have thought of using the continuous tense in my search anyway.
Also, no AI necessary - I just pulled it from my previous post.

try 'unmergING' instead of unmerge. Worked for me.

Because I didn't know better? 
Seriously, because I neede to reinstall it, with the Tkinter modules. I tried to recompile/reinstall it but couldn't so I decide to uninstall-reinstall.
Bad Idea ? No Shit! |

Can't you just "emerge python" again to recompile and reinstall with the new USE settings?

When you emerge python it detects the latest version and says it does not need an upate. I tried that first |

This is the behavior of 'emerge -u python'. 'emerge python' will reinstall it...
