I'm working on the install for my friend still.  Since KDE4 wants to 
stay in bed, I thought I would try KDE3 from the overlay.  I read not 
long ago that it is still somewhat kicking.  So I installed layman and 
added the overlay.  I then added this line to make.conf:

source /var/lib/layman/make.conf

When I add that, I get errors like this:

!!! Parse error in '/etc/make.conf': source command failed: [Errno 2] No 
such file or directory: '/var/lib/layman/make.config'
!!! Parse error in '/etc/make.conf': source command failed: [Errno 2] No 
such file or directory: '/var/lib/layman/make.config'

fireball / # eix-update
Reading Portage settings ..
failed to source '/var/lib/layman/make.config'
Building database (/var/cache/eix) ..
[0] "gentoo" /usr/portage/ (cache: metadata-flat)

I have googled and followed some Gentoo docs and this error just keeps 
popping up.  What am I doing wrong?

Keep in mind I am doing a 32 bit install on a 64 bit machine.  I am 
following the guide that was linked to earlier.

Ideas?

Oh, the file is there.

fireball / # ls -al /var/lib/layman/make.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 64 Sep  3 22:49 /var/lib/layman/make.conf
fireball / #

I forgot to post that.  Fire away. I need ideas.  ;-)

I think you have run into the fact that you only put that source line
after you have added your first overlay -- is this the case?

you spend it?

That's either a typo or the source of the problem :)

I did do it afterwards because when I read the guide, it said to do it 
afterwards.  If you do it earlier portage will complain.  It appears 
that has changed.  What do I do to fix this mess?

That's what the guide has:

# If you have>=app-portage/layman-1.3.0
# source "/var/lib/layman/make.conf"

I'm using 1.4 but that is also what the message said after I emerge it.  I actually copied it from there.

Ideas?

Oh yea !!!  Much better.  I knew it had to be something stupid that only 
I would do.  I copied that from somewhere tho.  I need to find out where 
so I can report it.  I get this now:

fireball / # eix-update
Reading Portage settings ..
Building database (/var/cache/eix) ..
[0] "gentoo" /usr/portage/ (cache: metadata-flat)
      Reading category 155|155 (100%) Finished
[1] "kde-sunset" /var/lib/layman/kde-sunset (cache: 
parse|ebuild*#metadata-flat#assign)
      Reading category  17|155 ( 10%): app-misc .. *


THANKS MUCH !!!!
