Click on the link where it says "tarball". Download and Extract the tarball. This should create a directory. Enter that directory (cd to that directory). type 'makepkg' after the compilation finishes, you should have a file ending in .pkg.tar.gz install that file with pacman as follows... 'pacman -U filename.pkg.tar.gz' Installation should now be complete if all went as planned. __________________ oz New Members: * README *

You are correct, they use a license called Opera. But they do have a Linux build available.
