pure-ftpd compile-parameters

hi all.

i have had emerged pure-ftpd (with standard parameters) and it has been running now for several months. now i want to enable virtual chrooting. to do that, i have to recompile pure-ftp with the argument --with-virtualchroot, which is not a standard argument.
can anyone tell me how i can run the configure and make script? i think i only have binaries installed. do i have to install pure-ftpd without portage?

ciao
chris

it's farily simple to do a tgz based install.

first unzip and untar, then go into that directory and read the readme.

usually you

./configure
make
su -c "make install"

thx for the quick answer.
do i have to unmerge pure-ftpd first?

(I've never done a manual ebuild before)

i did configure, make and install as you said, but i still can't follow symlinks in pure-ftpd. :?:

I think you have to look again.
The ebuild for pure-ftpd has a useflag for virtual root as far as I can tell.
