Thank you. The information at devmaual.gentoo.org is helping my plan. And irc is a good one. Alan On 12/3/06, Steve Dibb [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Raymond Lewis Rebbeck wrote: I've looked at the docs.

Except for a few gotchas from time to time. (a font, for example, that isn't installed by default on gentoo xorg installs anymore), there is little outside the ordinary to compiling the program: a data file, one or two Env variables. Irregularly, new versions of the beta version appear also with dated names. I've looked at the docs. I've posted on bugzilla a request for an ebuild.
