Using ebuild

Now i wanted to try out d4x on vedanta's (http://vedanta.freecoolsite.com) recommendation so i tried to emerge it.But the compile failed .So i looked up gentoo's bugzilla and found the cause.gtk+ 2.6 has a function with the same name as one used by d4x so there is a conflict.

So i got the patch ( http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=49573 ) from the bugzilla and followed these steps to install the package.

$ebuild /usr/portage/net-misc/d4x/d4x-2.5.0.ebuild fetch
$ebuild /usr/portage/net-misc/d4x/d4x-2.5.0.ebuild unpack
$cd /var/tmp/portage/d4x-2.5.0/work/d4x-2.5.0final/
$patch -p0 < /tmp/d4x.patch $ebuild /usr/portage/net-misc/d4x/d4x-2.5.0.ebuild compile $ebuild /usr/portage/net-misc/d4x/d4x-2.5.0.ebuild install $ebuild /usr/portage/net-misc/d4x/d4x-2.5.0.ebuild qmerge

That's it. Enjoy :)
