However, it's 32-bit and requires 32-bit libraries that don't have emul-linux-x86-* packages yet. So far I've identified libgnomeprint, libxml2, and libgnomeprintui, but I might run into more later. Basically what I did was follow the instructions to set up a 32-bit chroot environment, build binary packages inside it for the libraries I need, then just unpack the /usr/lib directory of the binary package to /opt/lib32, which is a directory I created and added to ld.so.conf for this purpose. It's going, but it's going slowly. libgnomeprintui depends on a fairly significant portion of X11 which I'm building 32-bit right now. Just warning you what you're getting into on amd64. :-) For x86 it should be easier. The installation notes for Notes (lol) say that it depends on Gnome, but I'm not exactly sure how much (so far only libgnomeprint and libgnomeprintui). It also depends on Mozilla (not Firefox). I'm not sure if mozilla-bin will work because it wasn't built with xft support. I ran into a problem with that while trying out Sametime. I had to download a 32-bit binary from mozilla.org that was marked as having xft support, then unpacked it to /usr/local. That made Sametime work. I'm not sure if the new Notes requires this as well, but just to be safe I had it use the binary from mozilla.org. This is done using the /etc/gre.conf file, which Gentoo doesn't have, but which is required for the Notes installer to not die near the beginning. It looks like this: [1.7.13] GRE_PATH=/usr/local/mozilla Should be pretty self-explanatory. Good luck with your ebuild! --Geoff Mishkin On Monday 14 August 2006 10:16, Nathan Egge wrote: > What about the new version of Lotus Notes 7.0.1 code named Hannover?
