I find it's useful to look at error messages. It often tells you what is wrong: dpkg: error processing nerolinux-3.5.0.1-x86.deb (--install): package architecture (i386) does not match system () dpkg does nto want ot install that .deb on your system as the arch is wrong. It makes sense, it wouldn't install sparc binaries either. Gentoo doesn't have an i386 arch, it has x86 and amd64. But I still feel your whole approach is wrong. Two package managers on one system? Therein lies madness, and file collisions that will leave you scratching your head wondering wtf? The solution is simple: alien I know it doesn't do the whole pre- and post- install thing right, but that doesn't matter as they probably aren't suitable on gentoo anyway. You want the binaries and a way to extract them. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
