-Then take the following steps to build:
+Note: If you just want to install bitcoind on Gentoo, you can add the Bitcoin
+ overlay and use your package manager:
+ layman -a bitcoin && emerge bitcoind
+
+emerge -av1 --noreplace boost glib openssl sys-libs/db:4.8
+
+Take the following steps to build (no UPnP support):
cd ${BITCOIN_DIR}/src
- sed -i 's/<db_cxx.h>/<db4.8\/db_cxx.h>/' *.h # path fix
- sed -i 's/-Bstatic/-Bdynamic/' makefile.unix # dynamic linking

- make -f makefile.unix
+ make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP= BDB_INCLUDE_PATH='/usr/include/db4.8'
