I followed a guide here
I set it all up but I get the following errors when I test the setup

I do't understand where I went wrong. Can anyone help please?

See if you have something in /usr/NX/lib. If you don't, you need the nxlibs.
You can compile them, of course, but getting a precompiled package for your distro is vastly preferable. I don't use Gentoo so I can't help you at this point.
To avoid the other messages, you should edit the file node.conf, found either at /etc/nxserver/ or /usr/NX/etc/ .
For example, I have patched mine to say "DEFAULTXSESSION=/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc" which is where xinitrc is located in my system.
Hth.
