I just tried to reinstall Gentoo on my laptop(x86) and after chrooting
into my new install I tried to run env-update but got a command not found.
I looked in sbin and the command isn't there. I downloaded again the stage
3 tarball i686 20111213 from another mirror and I'm still not finding the
command. I feel like a goof for asking but has anyone else run into this
error?

I just downloaded stage3-i686-20111213.tar.bz2
env-update is in '/usr/sbin/env-update'

Did you 'source /etc/profile' first. This normally solves problems like
this.

I thought the incantation is:

env-update && source /etc/profile

has this changed?

NAFAIK.

What's in $PATH?

Try /usr/sbin/env-update && source /etc/profile ...

According to the docs, it is this:

livecd / #env-update&& source /etc/profile

So Mick is right. I think it is Mick that posted it correctly. Jeez, lots of Mick, Micheals and such on here. o_O

No it hasn't, just looked in the gentoo handbook.
I never can remember what command to run first, so I execute both of
them two times

Here's how I understand it:

1) env-update rebuilds /etc/environment from /etc/env.d/.
2) /etc/environment is sourced from /etc/profile, so
3) you get the updated /etc/environment when you source /etc/profile.

E before S (alphabetical) is the way I remember it.

Almost, but it's /etc/profile.env that is created by env-update and
sourced by /etc/profile. /etc/environment contains variable settings for
pam.
