Just a thought... I think you could use alien to convert the rpm to a tar.gz, then use "emerge /path/to/whatever.tar.gz". (IIRC that's a way you can install a binary package...). That should make portage aware of the package being installed, but I think that you must install the deps by hand... -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
