1 I'm working on the install for my friend still. Since KDE4 wants to
2 stay in bed, I thought I would try KDE3 from the overlay. I read not
3 long ago that it is still somewhat kicking. So I installed layman and
4 added the overlay. I then added this line to make.conf:
5
6 source /var/lib/layman/make.conf
7
8 When I add that, I get errors like this:
9
10 !!! Parse error in '/etc/make.conf': source command failed: [Errno 2] No
11 such file or directory: '/var/lib/layman/make.config'
12 !!! Parse error in '/etc/make.conf': source command failed: [Errno 2] No
13 such file or directory: '/var/lib/layman/make.config'
14
15 fireball / # eix-update
16 Reading Portage settings ..
17 failed to source '/var/lib/layman/make.config'
18 Building database (/var/cache/eix) ..
19 [0] "gentoo" /usr/portage/ (cache: metadata-flat)

21 I have googled and followed some Gentoo docs and this error just keeps
22 popping up. What am I doing wrong?
23
24 Keep in mind I am doing a 32 bit install on a 64 bit machine. I am
25 following the guide that was linked to earlier.
26
27 Ideas?
