why don't you use portage ?
try as root
and let portage install it for you

in console tipp
if you want to start it automatically after you started your computer
add as normal user in your .xinitrc following
now gkrellm should start together, as your window menager start up

1-)
.xinitrc should be in /home/your_user_name
try this as normal user [not root !]
| Code: |
echo "exec gkrellm2 &" >>/home/your_user_name/.xinitrc
chmod u+x /home/your_user_name/.xinitrc
|
2-) for the themes:
you can install with
| Code: | | emerge gkrellm-themes |

you should then modify the user rights so that you can use it as normal user
try as root
| Code: |
cp -rf /root/.gkrellm2 /home/your_user_name
chown -R your_user_name:users /home/your_user_name/.gkrellm2
