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'

Reading Portage settings ..

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?
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?


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?
