Subject: [gentoo-user] Installing a thingy that does not have an ebuild

1 Hi all,
2 I'm trying to install an engineering package by the name of
3 Salome-meca. There is no ebuild for this. They claim to have a
4 "universal installer" but I've spent too much time trying to get this
5 thingy to work and can now confidently say it's not too universal.
6
7 There are installs for Debian 6 & 7.1, Mandriva, Centos 5.5 & 6.3,
8 Fedora 18 and Ununtu 13.1. Which of these would be the easiest to grab
9 and somehow shoehorn/install into an up to date Gentoo system running KDE?
10
11 Any help, including links on installing "non Gentoo" into Gentoo, would
12 be greatly appreciated.

14 Regards,
15 Andrew
