How to install GNS3 in Gentoo Linux

Now that I've switched to Gentoo Linux, I had to learn a few tricks about getting my favorite software installed. One application I can't live without is GNS3, or the Graphical Network Simulator. It allows you to easily simulate a network of Cisco routers in an easy to use, drag and drop interface. I've used it to study for a number of Cisco certification tests (and pass them too!) and it really helps. If you have access to a few IOS images that Dynamips supports, I encourage you to install GNS3 to simplify your studies.

Getting GNS3 installed under Gentoo Linux takes a little more work since Gentoo is a source distro (you have to compile the software yourself) but is well worth the effort.

Read on and find out how to get GNS3 working in Gentoo Linux!
