Trying to build freecad-9999 from portage[SOLVED]

Hi All:

I got all the dependencies sorted for this and it built fine but dies at the end when installing:
install: cannot stat ‘README.Linux’: No such file or directory
!!! dodoc: README.Linux does not exist

Is there a way I can make emerge gloss over this error? The thing compiled so I don't really care if that readme is there or not.

Cheers,
john

Yes. Edit the ebuild. There should be a line about README.linux, probably in the src_install section. Comment it out and run ebuild freecad-9999.ebuild digest while in the dir for the ebuild. Then try it again.

EDIT:

I checked. Yep, it's there. Just open the ebuild, and you'll see it.
