there was a change in layman - I never saw it documented but apparently some devs on the pro-audio list knew about it - where layman changed the path between /usr/local/portage and /usr/portage/local. I think my solution was to use layman to remove all overlays, then change my path in make.conf, then re-import the overlays I was using. (vmware and pro-audio) IIRC corretly after removing the overlay probably removed directories by hand, etc., and did some cleanup. Anyway, after messing around with it things started working again and I haven't had trouble since. Note that I didn't have any private overlays and this happened sometime back - maybe 2-3 months ago - so your results may vary or not even be related. You can probably find the thread in the proaudio users list archive if you want to review what the dev told me. Hope this helps, Mark
