7 Beagle requires a very specific version of inotify to be active in the
8 kernel in order for it to function. Depending on your kernel version,
9 the kernel may need to be patched to provide the correct version of the
10 inotify module.

12 What kernel are you using? Have you looked at
13 http://beaglewiki.org/Getting_Started ? I think there's also an entry on
14 the Gentoo Wiki as well; I know I had some 5 Beagle-related tabs open in
15 Firefox while installing, but atm can't go back in my history to check
16 what they all were.

18 I will say that Beagle does work (I have it installed from the Gentopia
19 overlay), but it is 'twitchy (as hell)' to get installed. You have to
20 pull a lot of libraries from the overlay that may affect other
21 applications-- mostly ones using or depending on mono-- and if those
22 libraries are updated, as they were a couple of days later on my system,
23 then beagle needs to be recompiled to run again. But that done, it's
24 working fine now. Seems pretty cool and possibly well worth the effort,
25 but I haven't used it much yet.
