Based on my experience, just point at the latest /profiles you see.
So do a
Code: | ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.1 /etc/make.profile |
Let us know if it works -- and try to stay out of boiling water! _________________ I was born not knowing and have only

Don't put the blame on me, it's emerge's fault if I plunged into boiling water!
Everything was working perfectly before I emerged --sync: who removed the 2005.1 directory? Emerge did it.
I'm not going to power on my PC for weeks and weeks as I have a newborn baby at home and I can "play" with my PC really seldom if ever. Anyway, I'll let you know if it works (sooner or later...).
Bye,

I just wanted to say that I had the exact same problem.
emerge --sync on a old innstall.
And that deleted my 2005.0 profile.
did a
#rm /etc/make.profile
#ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.0 /etc/make.profile
And then I could use emerge as normal again
Thanks for the help. Even if it wasn't intended to help me |

Had the same thing here. How about changing the error-message so it contains an URL of the part of the Gentoo-Handbook where the solution can be found? Having to search the forums might be hard for new/unexperienced users of Gentoo? Shall I file a bug for it? |

Here I am again. Yes, It works!
I did what arndawg did and up to now everything seems to be working properly.

I also had a machine with a pretty un-synced version of Gentoo, same problem and same solution as arndawg:

|
|
I had the same issue. I had:
Code: |
ls -l /etc/make.profile --> /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2005.0
|
Then I did an emerge --sync and got the ARCH not set error. Apparantly the sync dropped the 2005.0 profile. To fix the error, I just did:
Code: |
unlink /etc/make.profile
ln -sf /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2006.0 /etc/make.profile
|
And all was well. Why did the sync take away the profile? I don't know but it was rather rude to break my portage tree like that.
Hope this helps someone else !!! _________________ You might know more than me today, but I'm learning faster than you !!! Watch your heels !!! |
