+### Building on GNU/Linux Gentoo ###
+####################################
+
+Some Gentoo files are named different from what is assumed in the pvr
+installation scripts, minor modifications are required:
+
+The following example assumes python2.7 installation and will place everything
+into pvr_dir/libpvr/install/linux2/g++/m64/release/python26/pvr.
+
+First we need to define the directory where the python library will be installed:
+$ cd pvr_dir/libpvr
+$ export PVR_PYTHON_PATH="."
+
+Depending on the installed python version, we may need to create a few
+symbolic links to satisfy the dependencies:
+$ cd /usr/lib
+$ sudo ln -s ./libboost_python-2.7.so ./libboost_python.so
+$ sudo ln -s ./libpython2.7.so ./libpython2.6.so
+$ sudo ln -s pvr_dir/libpvr.so ./libpvr.so
+
+Now things should get built.  Proceed as described in "Building PVR" section.
+
+Finally, after the pvr pylib is built and installed, create a symlink to it:
+$ cd /usr/lib/python2.7
+$ sudo ln -s pvr_dir/libpvr/install/linux2/g++/m64/release/python26/pvr/ ./pvr
