emerge FETCHCOMMAND problem

[Victoria Heisner]

When I run an emerge, I get this:

!!! FETCHCOMMAND does not contain the required ${FILE} parameter.
!!! RESUMECOMMAND does not contain the required ${FILE} parameter.
!!! Refer to the make.conf(5) man page for information about how to
!!! correctly specify FETCHCOMMAND and RESUMECOMMAND.

If I look at make.conf(5), it says to be sure to use:

\${DISTDIR}/\${FILE}

If I do use that, then a directory is made named <filename>, and the file is
placed inside it.

If I use:

\${DISTDIR}/${FILE}

Then I get the warning listed above.

From my current /etc/make.conf:

FETCHCOMMAND="/usr/bin/wget -t 5 -T 60 --passive-ftp \${URI} -P
\${DISTDIR}/${FILE}"
RESUMECOMMAND="/usr/bin/wget -c -t 5 -T 60 --passive-ftp \${URI} -P
\${DISTDIR}/${FILE}"

How do I get this to work where I don't get the warnings, and don't have
directories made instead of simply files placed in /usr/portage/distfiles?

Thanks,
Vicki

Try replacing the quotes (") with apostrophes ('). This will defer the
interpretation of the \ and $ meta-characters until it's needed.

Replace '-P' with '-O'.

Thanks, works a treat now.
