(Generally the first place to check would be bugs.gentoo.org, which shows that nothing by the name of arabtex exists.) There was some effort on making a g-ctan script which like the g-cpan script (which installs perl packages from CPAN) can install CTAN packages, it is at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85411 but I am not quite sure whether it would work or not. Your best bet is to just install the package yourself directly from CTAN, installation notes and list of files are here: ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/arabtex/install.txt and follow the installation advice http://www.ctan.org/installationadvice/ Best of luck W -- The NY Symphony and Schwarzenegger Enterprises have merged.
