Amazon Streaming is broken and installing hal fixes it according to
the following thread:

http://www.amazon.com/forum/amazon%...GOK5LRL3JM

I added the layman overlays multilib and kde-sunset in order to
install hal, but the emerge fails because it can't download
hal-0.5.14-gentoo-patches-5.tar.bz2. The following thread provides a
few links to this file but they no longer work, and I tried
downloading hal-0.5.14-gentoo-patches-4.tar.bz2, extracting, adding
the missing file as indicated, and recreating the bz2 tar archive, but
there is a checksum failure with that file:

Does anyone have advice for navigating this?

You may want to ask on -desktop too. The gurus that keep KDE3 and
friends going are on there but it may take a day for them to reply.

I did some searching, I found the same thing you did.

Me, I would try commenting the patch out of the ebuild and see if it
works. Maybe, just maybe, hal will work well enough for what you are
doing. Then again, it might not compile either.

I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or
how you interpreted my words!

Miss the compile output? Hint:
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--quiet-build=n"
