I'll try building the package manually, maybe tonight. I've been spoiled with portage (emerge), I guess.
USE settings are taken from a file called make.conf, which is used for all builds to determine things like cpu type, video cards and so forth. This gives you a very optimized system.
Have a look:

Portage manual http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/portage-manual.xml
gentoo USE guide http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/use-howto.xml
Thanks,
Steve

Hi, Dave -
Hi Steve, I've CC'd this to Adam, our configure expert...
No. See, the deal with gentoo is you don't run the typical .configure and make commands to build your packages. Rather you use 'emerge,' which is a command to build packages in gentoo linux.
Ahh, I see. 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. You sync up with the mothership tree to stay current. Normally one would handle .configre [options] with a setting in a variable called $USE, but I'm not able to find it in this case.
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?
Regards, Dave.
