Hello everybuddy:
I've just installed beagle and it just keeps telling me that I don't
have inotify in my kernel but /dev/inotify it's there
and /proc/config.gz says inotify is there... any hint?
Thanks in advance

Beagle requires a very specific version of inotify to be active in the
kernel in order for it to function. Depending on your kernel version,
the kernel may need to be patched to provide the correct version of the
inotify module.

What kernel are you using? Have you looked at
http://beaglewiki.org/Getting_Started ? I think there's also an entry on
the Gentoo Wiki as well; I know I had some 5 Beagle-related tabs open in
Firefox while installing, but atm can't go back in my history to check
what they all were.

I will say that Beagle does work (I have it installed from the Gentopia
overlay), but it is 'twitchy (as hell)' to get installed. You have to
pull a lot of libraries from the overlay that may affect other
applications-- mostly ones using or depending on mono-- and if those
libraries are updated, as they were a couple of days later on my system,
then beagle needs to be recompiled to run again. But that done, it's
working fine now. Seems pretty cool and possibly well worth the effort,
but I haven't used it much yet.
