Hi Melissa, I've played with shoes a little on gentoo. I've been building it from svn because I had issues with libgif / libungif when I tried the prebuilt linux version. Gentoo, IIRC, has opted to go with libgif instead of libungif. It's not hard to get shoes built though, I think at most I tweaked the Rakefile a little.
