I'm a Gentoo user. I started using Gentoo in 2005. Since that time I've very rarely been able to install non-portage software successully. Usually it fails during the make phase. Otherwise, non-portage software has always used the ./configure-make-make install cycle. As a result, I'm completely clueless when it comes to building non-portage software. I'm currently trying to build some source code I downloaded from svn:

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LUA_CFLAGS and LUA_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. michael@carter /home/work/trunk $ I have lua: ichael@carter /home/work/trunk $ sudo emerge -pv lua Password: These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
