Sorry for the delay. I've now completely deleted the TUG texlive
installation from [$HOME], and have reinstalled it as a regular user.

doing this as root didn't help, but doing 'grep tex-local .*' in my [$HOME]
as a regular user returned two lines in ~/.profile, where that variable
appears to be set. I've now commented those lines out.

I was then able to install texlive-basic from the gentoo package tree
successfully.

*Cripes*. Sorry for all the trouble. Now, I have the TUG texlive installed
in a local directory, and have the system one installed in the system
directories. Norbert, is there anything I need to do further to get these
two systems working together?

Thanks again for all your help.
