Basically you do the following: 1. get the tarball either from the home site or /usr/portage/distfiles to your home directory. Usually if I'm going to do a manual build I grab the latest stable distribution from the home site. 2. extract the tarball then cd into the directory. 3. Run the configure script, but you have two options: a) use "./configure --prefix=/usr" to replace the pixie that portage emerged or b) use "./configure --prefix=/usr/local" to get a clean local copy. 4. Build using the make command. 5. At this point you can test in the local directory to see if it works. 6. If you're happy with the build, su then "make install". -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
