You have to specify the ebuild when emerging rsync like this: emerge /usr/portage/net-misc/rsync/rsync-2.6.0.ebuild emerge rsync is an alias for emerge sync which syncs your portage tree. This might be something to put into the error message. Something along the lines of "If you were trying to emerge the rsync package, you must specify the ebuild." Thanks for the information though. wrangler |
