hello list, i don't know if there are many gentoo users here, but in case anyone is interested i'd like to share an ebuild for csound-5.08.0. it's based on an old ebuild that circulated on the net (i think from the pro-audio overlay, i don't know the author). i updated it and did several modifications, like including USE flags for most relevant compilation options, and patching the SConstruct file with a simple sed line. no need of extra files, patches or anything, just digest it and you're ready to emerge it. i tested it on x86 and amd64, no guarantee of course that it'll work on any given system. needless to say, this is NOT an official ebuild and it is NOT "professionally" written. but it seems to work fine, can't see what could go wrong except that it doesn't compile for you... best, lj
