The version of BNR2 in portage is very old... you should update to the new one. It's very stable and powerful and should be unmasked. Guidelines for the ebuild: requires >= kylixlibs3-borqt-3.0 (don't know why it's masked). 1) download from http://www.bnr2.org/BNR2beta-0.11.7.tgz 2) unpack in temporary directory 3) install the files like this: cp usr/local/BNR2/BNR2 /usr/bin/ mkdir /usr/share/doc/bnr2-0.11.7 gzip -c usr/local/BNR2/docs/changes.txt > /usr/share/doc/bnr2-0.11.7/CHANGES.gz cp usr/local/BNR2/icons/bnr2a.png /usr/share/icons 4) create shell script /usr/bin/bnr2: #!/bin/sh export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/kylix3 /usr/bin/BNR2
0.12.3 is now in portage
