Just to report that I got it working. After a bit of tweaking, I managed to
get his ebuild working. There were a couple of errors in his ebuild. After
I resolved that it worked without any problems.
If you don't already have a PORTDIR_OVERLAY in /etc/make.conf add an entry:
PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage
then :
mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/net-misc/knetworkconf
cd /usr/local/portage/net-misc/knetworkconf/

This is currently not available in kde under Gentoo. Not completely true-- someone has taken the opportunity to practice their ebuild writing skills, so there is a proposed ebuild on bugs.gentoo.org (b.g.o), found by searching ALL knetworkconf: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19413 While putting an unofficial build in one's overlay is also not 'simple' if you've never done it before, 1) it's a useful skill to have if you're a Gentoo user; and 2) it's easier than building from source for what is likely a complex build (suggested by the fact that no one has it but knoppix). So while there are likely to be problems, at least you can also contribute to the bug so that 1) you might get help/fixes if the ebuild doesn't emerge and 2) any problems with the ebuild get fixed faster, paving the way to get the ebuild into Portage that much sooner. You probably want to have a look at the following references: Adding unofficial ebuilds (Gentoo docs) http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3chap=5#doc_chap2 HOW-TO Installing 3rd party ebuilds (gentoo-wiki.com) http://www.gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_3rd_Party_Ebuilds HTH, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] KDE GUI for network settings
Well, that's where I would expect to find it also, but it's not there. Anyone know what might be missing from my installed packages for this? it depends on your KDE version. It is in KDE 3.5 per default; for earlier versions it needs to get installed separately. From an original message of the author in March 2005: »As from this past sunday, KNetworkConf lives now in the official KDE CVS and probably will be part of KDE 3.5 :) You can find it under kdereview/knetworkconf module for now. Later in some point in time it will be moved to kdenetwork or kdeadmin core packages.« Best regards ce -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] KDE GUI for network settings
Hi, I'm sorry - this is probably noob stuff. Ah, OK. I'm unable to find it, doing emerge --search knetworkconf The application is not yet official enough, so you'll not find it in the portage tree. Instead... How do I find and install the kdereview/knetworkconf module? (I have KDE 3.4.1) you need it to check out from CVS or to build it manually from sources which can be found on http://knetworkconf.sf.net: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/knetworkconf/knetworkconf-0.6.1.tar.bz2?download If you're a real noobie to Linux building packages from source isn't really the easiest thing on earth, OTOH if you have luck it will build just fine: * After downloading unpack the source * Open a shell window in the directory where the (unpacked) source resides * run the following commands: ./configure make If no error occured do su (enter root passphrase) make install Best regards ce -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
