I did an emerge of win4lin 5 today and had some troubles: ebuild /var/db/pkg/app-emulation/win4lin-5.0.1/win4lin-5.0.1.ebuild config will now copy /etc/init.d/Win4Lin from /opt/win4lin/win4lin.initd which is fine, but the script isn't executable: ls -la /etc/init.d/Win4Lin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1677 Jun 5 11:16 /etc/init.d/Win4Lin and after trying to start it, it gives me: /etc/init.d/Win4Lin start * ERROR: "/etc/init.d/Win4Lin" has syntax errors in it; not executing...

sorry, was my error, i forget mask win4lin 5. Please emerge rsync the stable version for gentoo (almos in a few days) is win4lin-4.0.22. use the 5.0.1 is safe, but you must use the init script provided by netraverse: ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/Win4Lin /etc/init.d/Win4Lin The ebuild must do it but check it.
jep, the netraverse-script does it....
fixed with a temp-silly init-script
