"Layout1 is malformed"

Hey all,

I just upgraded to [Gentoo's portage version: http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/media-sound/moc/moc-2.5.0_alpha2.ebuild?rev=1.8&view=log] of moc, which is 2.5.0_alpha2; it compiled fine, but whenever I try to start it, I get:

FATAL_ERROR: Layout1 is malformed

I removed my ~/.moc directory and tried various -T options, but nothing worked.

Is this a known problem, or is it a Gentoo-specific issue (entirely possible), or did I just do something wrong?

Thanks!

I... sorta solved this.

I didn't have any Layout lines in my config (I found this out when I went to downgrade to 2.4, and got the same error). I added some, and all worked fine. What I'm curious about is why this stopped working; I'm assuming there are some default layouts defined somewhere, but maybe they're not getting picked up?

Anyway... 2.5-a2 is now running...
