Ok, presumably though, before a package can be build wit emerge, we still need to get configure/make to run OK. If you fancy lending a hand, perhaps we can figure out what's required to get pga3 to be friends with Gentoo? If so, I think the first step is probably to do a normal ./configure and make sure that it can find anything it needs. > something like BSD ports and debian packages.

How does it normally get set? Does emerge look for some sort of settings file in the distribution? Adam; do you have any experience with Gentoo?
