same way as you would any other rpm. rpm -i package.rpm (i think)

i would highly recommend porting it over to gentoo's standards though, as our standard paths are different than redhat's. but it's really optional... as long as it's not overwriting anything.

cheers

To do as bunder says, you may have to first emerge rpm, which installs the RedHat Package Manager. Or if you use KDE, you could emerge kpackage.

Would it not be easier to use the .deb. I know some ebuilds use them allready (the nsplugins32 ebuild for one is on the forums somewhere).

There are many ways you can do it. rpm works well enough for most packages although, in my experience, the "--nodeps" argument is required for nearly all of them. If you use something like alien, you can convert a .rpm or .deb file into a .tar.gz. It can be helpful to do that then look at the resulting file with something like mc to see exactly what the package does and install manually if you wish.
