Either use emerge if the xmltv package is available, or, if you have to, Install XMLTV From Source. ### Get FreeGuide FreeGuide isn't officially supported by Gentoo, but there are ebuilds which can be installed manually. First, go to the sourceforge download page and download the freeguide_gentoo_ebuilds_x.y.z.tar.bz2 file. Second: Follow the instructions on Gentoo Wiki: Installing 3rdParty ebuilds. After you have set up your local portage overlay dir, extract the freeguide ebuild file into the directory and do a `ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge install freeguide` There are several freeguide packages in portage, but "freeguide" alone installs the most necessary ones. If you need another grabber or other plugins, type `emerge search freeguide` and choose the right ones for you. You can now run FreeGuide by choosing it from the menu or alternatively by typing into a terminal: `freeguide` You'll now need to answer a few questions, and then you're ready to go. If you use a proxy server (if you don't know, you probably don't), you'll need to read this page: Configure Proxy On Linux.
