Got you, in fact I had the eclasses howto (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=2)
open as I got your message and see that "The contents of the eclass will be sourced at this point."

All makes sense now, I moved the inherit line to the top (below the header)
and all is fine.

Thanks for your help. ebuilds look easyish when you first look at them,
but actually writing even a small one requires a lot of learning. Like a
lot of code, easier to muddle your way through "what this file does"
than "make one yourself".

Thanks for continuing to make the system so powerful boys and girls.
