try running Code: | eselect profile list | set your choice with Code: | eselect profile set 1 | substituting your choice for 1. If you need to you canIf you can not get eselect:To see currently selected profile Code: | ls -l /etc/make.profile | Viewing available profiles without eselect is tedious: Code: | ls /usr/portage/profiles/ | pick a directory that is likely to contain the desired profile--probably default-- Code: | ls /usr/portage/profiles/default | then Code: | ls /usr/portage/profiles/default/linux | then Code: | ls /usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64 | then Code: | ls /usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/10.0 | then Code: | ls /usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop | then Code: | ls /usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/gnome | At which point I have no further directories and have identified a profile for a desktop computer running gnome. Any directory in this chain that contains espi and parent files is a valid profile destination. To select the gnome desktop profile: Remove the current symlink: Code: | rm /etc/make.profile | Then make a new symlink in the format Quote: | ln -s ../usr/portage/profiles/<selected profile> /etc/make.profile | for the gnome desktop as an example: Code: | ln -s ../usr/portage/profiles//usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/gnome /etc/make.profile |

Hi Ed,
I'm installing Gentoo for the first time and got the same error you did, following the instructions on http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml. I found out that I skipped one step - extract the portage tar file. Now it's in the process of getting the kernel source.
Retrace your step and religiously follow the instruction. Good luck!
