/me reads your original post again,
Okkey now it makes sense.
The issue here is our package management system. Yes you can install it
alongside xfree, assuming you installed the libs to /usr/local so they
don't overwrite xfree's. This is something we (meaning Gentoo) will not
do, because /usr/local is not a place a package management system should
put things. As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, modifying the ebuilds
to use prefixes of /usr/local instead of /usr would solve this, but my
versions of the ebuilds will remain fit for inclusion in Portage.
okkey, got it.
Already was. The "kdrive" on my overlay is a modification of that in
portage, reflecting usage of imake and therefore xfree86 sources.
