Well, there's the problem. There's no files directory there. I ran the ebuild command when I added it to the overlay, I don't think it downloaded anything. I just copied the ebuild file from the Gentoo tree. If I ever need to emerge from the overlay, I hope it works now. Did something change with overlays? In the past, I copied the ebuild over to local overlay and ran the ebuild command for the manifest. It downloaded everything that was needed. Now, it seems it doesn't. They add a step? I miss a step that slipped my mind? Dale :-) :-)
