I need to make a change in the code for a gentoo package (pgcalc2) to

How can I do this?
Assuming you have a fairly standard setup:
ebuild /usr/portage/sci-calculators/pgcalc2/pgcalc2-2.2.4.ebuild unpack
<make change in /var/tmp/portage/pgcalc2-2.2.4/work>
ebuild /usr/portage/sci-calculators/pgcalc2/pgcalc2-2.2.4.ebuild compile
ebuild /usr/portage/sci-calculators/pgcalc2/pgcalc2-2.2.4.ebuild install
See "man ebuild".

Thanks, Richard. Those steps did the trick. And the author's
correction fixed the problem also.
So, with a final "ebuild ... qmerge", I have a working pgcalc2.
