* Double check that the path is right, i.e. if your category is foo, and your overlay is set as /usr/local/portage, that you are actually in /usr/local/portage/foo/ when you do this. * Make sure the name of the directory and the base name of the ebuild are the same, ie $OVERLAY/foo/component-template/component-template-0.1.0.ebuild should be right. Any differentiation in the above would fail (like case, names, etc.) * Check permissions from the top down as the user doing this :) * Is the source file already in distfiles? If not, can the user doing this write to distfiles? * Finally, believe it or not, make sure you don't have a typo in the ebuild. I've seen a misplaced " cause this error. ~mcummings -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
