I tried to emerge americas-army and got the following error. Thought it might be a missing dependency (makeself) but after emerging makeself the same error occurs. Error message below: These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

I should mention: typing
I should mention: typing ´makeself.sh -v´ gives: james@angus james $ makeself.sh -v Makeself version 2.1.3 james@angus james $
What's "ls -l /usr/portage/distfiles/armyops210-linux.bin" give you?
You do not need makeself, as we do not use it. For one, you should not use userpriv without using usersandbox, too. Second, how did you get a copy of armyops210-linux.bin? Did you copy it there yourself? Try doing a chmod a+r /usr/portage/distfiles/armyops210-linux.bin and remerging.

Strange... emerge -f should have given it proper permissions... Anyway, glad to see it's working for you now.
