econf failed

[example6]

I am installing gentoo manually by chrooting from ubuntu.

I just got done doing 'emerge --sync' and it told me I should emerge portage.

When I emerged portage, all four parts died and gave the following information:

* ERROR: app-admin/eselect-python-20090824 failed.
* Call stack:
* ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile
* environment, line 2619: Called econf
* ebuild.sh, line 513: Called die
* The specific snippet of code:
* die "econf failed"
* The die message:
* econf failed

I'm running 64-bit, and set my /etc/make.conf's CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS as follows:

CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=native"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

my CHOST is this
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"

If this is incorrect, please let me know. I have never installed Gentoo manually and am trying it on my own.

I feel unsure if I should ignore this, as it may be due to the fact that I haven't yet set my USE flags or anything yet. I'm not sure how to continue. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Your cflags and chost are fine

No you can't ignore this.

Please post the actual errors please.
