24 Looked at the bug. I then moved make.conf to /etc/portage and put a
25 link in /etc just in case, and for this old fart to be able to find it
26 in /etc without freaking out. lol I did the same for make.globals as
27 well. I might add, I didn't have a make.globals file. I had to search
28 to find out if it was supposed to be a file or a directory. No idea
29 what it does but I was missing that file. Anyway, it is happy and no
30 more errors. I can use tab completion and genlop not complain.

32 Should I add a note to the bug? That way they know it hasn't just
33 affected one person.

35 Thanks Alex or Wonko. ??? I'm not a drinker but I owe you a glass of
36 good cold sweet tea. LOL I could splurge and get a IBC root beer.
