After emergeing opera-static, you get this in an info window: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Unicode translation table file missing: /usr/share/opera/unicode.dat Character table file missing: /usr/share/opera/chartables.bin Check your configuration. Missing tables will limit display of international text. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Symlinking /opt/opera/share -> /usr/share/opera does the trick, but of course this isn't the long term sollution. Cheers!
In the interest of completeness, the correct path should be: /opt/opera/share May be obvious, but to much information is better then not enough.
AFAIK, this happens because OPERA_DIR environment variable is not defined in your environment. Opera's ebuild installs /etc/env.d/10opera6, that should take care of this problem. IF this problem occurs even if OPERA_DIR is set to /opt/opera/share, please reopen this bug.
