Hello everybody!

I am trying to emerge slrn, but I get this error message:

--snip--
checking for sendmail .... no
configure: error:
I can't find a sendmail executable, slrn requires a mail transport agent for 
sending e-mail.
Please make sure sendmail is in your $PATH or use the --with-mta option to 
point configure to a 
different MTA (giving the full pathname and all needed command line arguments). 
--snap--

As I do not use sendmail but nbsmtp, I should point configure to 
/usr/bin/nbsmtp.

But I do not know how to do this. I understand, that using Gentoo I have to 
emerge 'instead' of install 
the programms. When I was using SuSE, I could install programms by the way 
'configure' (where I can 
give options), 'make' and 'install'. But now, I not even know how to do this 
under Gentoo.

Can anybody help me with this?

Every help is very much appreciated.

Kind regards,
Nelly
