The build sets up some symlinks that building other, third-party modules need. I also have a modified rc script for the tools, that works with openrc. Let me know if you want it. I also have an up-to-date Gentoo x86 server VM with the tools already installed. -- Keith Dart -- -- -------------------- Keith Dart =======================
