[gentoo-dev] ebuild help

[Brett]

Greetings,
I have a few Linux programs which I would like to use, but which are not
in portage. I have attempted to make some ebuild scripts (via the ebuild
HOWTO) for these  programs, but I can't get them to work.

The error I receive is:
{
# emerge /usr/local/portage/app-office/bhpos-base/app-office/bhpos-base
Calculating dependencies
emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy
"/usr/local/portage/app-office/bhpos-base/app-office/bhpos-base".
                                                                                
!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.

}//end error

I have tried everything I can think of, including commenting out all the
required dependencies.

I have also set:
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"

Any help is appreciated :-)
