[edit] Overlay

PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"

Setup a portage overlay for /usr/local/portage

[edit] Installation

mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/www-client/flock-bin

• Now lets ebuild it

ebuild  /usr/local/portage/www-client/flock-bin/flock-bin-0.7.6.ebuild digest
emerge -av flock-bin

• If that doesn't work, try symlinking the flock-bin directory into a place where portage will look and try again

ln -s /usr/local/portage/www-client/flock-bin/ /usr/portage/www-client/flock-bin
emerge -av flock-bin

• Now lets run it

/opt/flock/flock

[edit] Link your plugins

All the plugins work for Flock just like Firefox.
