Looked at the bug. I then moved make.conf to /etc/portage and put a
link in /etc just in case, and for this old fart to be able to find it
in /etc without freaking out. lol I did the same for make.globals as
well. I might add, I didn't have a make.globals file. I had to search
to find out if it was supposed to be a file or a directory. No idea
what it does but I was missing that file. Anyway, it is happy and no
more errors. I can use tab completion and genlop not complain.
Should I add a note to the bug? That way they know it hasn't just
affected one person.
Thanks Alex or Wonko. ??? I'm not a drinker but I owe you a glass of
good cold sweet tea. LOL I could splurge and get a IBC root beer.
Thanks much.

Similar here, with missing /etc/make.conf. It's working when I create it,
as symlink to /etc/portage/make.conf. I do have /etc/make.globals, it
points to ../usr/share/portage/config/make.globals.
The problem lies in /usr/share/bash-completion/genlop,
where /etc/make.{conf,globals} are being referenced.

[gentoo-user] genlop and tab completion acts weird
Howdy, I been noticing something weird. If I try to use tab completion with the genlop command, I get things like this: root@fireball / # genlop -t -f /var/-su: /etc/make.globals: No such file or directory hp-toolbox.lock ^C root@fireball / # genlop -t -f /var/lo-su: /etc/make.globals: No such file or directory ^C root@fireball / # On the first one, I only typed in to /var/ then hit tab and on the second one I went to /var/lo then hit tab. The rest it does when I hit the tab key. Whatever it is doing, I have to hit ctrl C to get out of it. Can someone test this on their system and see if it is just me or if you get the same thing? Anyone have a clue what the heck it is doing? So far, genlop is the only one I have seen that does this. It may be genlop specific but other commands that I don't use may do the same thing and I just don't know it. Thanks much. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
