I keep getting this error when trying to emerge mythtv. I never havent had a games group before and I really dont know what adding one entails. Any help would be greatly appreciated

yea, sounds good. But what kind of permissions does a games group need, or do I just need one that is named games.

I will try just adding a group though, thanks

I think you just need to run 'groupadd games'. You could also emerge a game (any game) and the ebuild should create the group for you.

Thanks for your help on this trivial matter
