I am writing a new ebuild and when I try to build the digest or emerge it I get the error | Code: | | Calculating dependencies \emerge: create(): aux_get() |
What is this referring to?

|

I was having trouble using a breakmygentoo ebuild which i was running emerge on from non-portage directory (/tmp/blah/gnome-2.3.2).
I was getting a similar error. I modified my /etc/make.conf file and changed
PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/tmp/blah/gnome-2.3.2 and voila!
Maybe the same would help you? |

I think a number of things can cause that error. Are you putting the ebuild in PORTDIR_OVERLAY/category/package/ ?
PORTDIR_OVERLAY is /usr/local/portage by default, even if you don't uncomment the line in /etc/make.conf
If that isn't the problem, feel free to post the ebuild and I'll take a look at it.

To be on the safe side you might want to change PORTDIR_OVERLAY to /usr/local/portage and put your ebuild there, in case you ever decide to clean out your /tmp directory. |
