strange problem with Emerging gentoo packages
 
Greetings

I just setup gentoo on my machine having some problem with emerging packages from cdz or portage tree.im using cd for packages i use export PKGDIR=/mnt/cdrom.

then emerge --useonlypkg xchat and tried this aswll emerge -K packagename no use

im getting these messages

Code:

emerging by path is broken and may not always work

you need to adjust PKGDIR to emerge this package

when im trying to install gnome getting this error.

Code:

sys-kernel/linux-headers
im using kernel version 2.6.9.any help would be appreciated.according to error itz indicated to adjust the PKGDIR but how to adust it which is what i dont get it.

Regards

Just quessing but couldn't you just copy the files from CD to your /usr/portage/distfiles and emerge packages as normal?
