Is that the actual package name? I haven't heard of it specifically..
also gentoo is unfamiliar to me.

That seems like a pretty comprehensive guide to the package management system sabayon uses.
If you installed from source then ???????

Try typing the package name in lower case. Whatever name you used to install it in the first place - a lot of things in Linux are case sensitive. I can see a torcs package on my system, so I guess you're either typing it in wrong or you haven't got it installed.
