After adding ~alpha keyword to the ebuild and putting it in the portage overlay, dev-libs/link-grammar-4.1.3 builds cleanly and works on my Digital Personal Workstation 433au. Below is the output of the sample parser (using the sentence 'This is a test.'): # grammar-parse No dictionary file specified. Using 4.0.dict. No affix file specified. Using 4.0.affix. No post process knowledge file specified. Using 4.0.knowledge. No constituent knowledge file specified.

Also tested with sentences from the project's sample page: http://bobo.link.cs.cmu.edu/link/batch.html Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Added ~alpha to KEYWORDS in link-grammar-4.1.3.ebuild 2. ebuild link-grammar-4.1.3.ebuild digest 3. emerge link-grammar Actual Results: Works as expected.
