I'm totally embarassed!

My distfile location was a directory on a USB external hardrive, which evidentally was in the beginning stages of crapping out last night.  I was having all kinds of emerge errors this morning, couldn't write to the drive and it won't even mount now.

Changed my distfile directory to my internal harddrive and I was able to emerge the ebuild with no problems.

Sorry for the false alarm.

Please close this report.

No worries, that's okay ;)
