Thanks for DraftSight for Linux. I am trying to install and get started with it without success. Sure, I am trying an atypical install however. Before describing my problem, few comments about the Download page for the software. All the links aren't working, at least on the French version. If you are going to this link: http://www.3ds.com/fr/products/draftsight/download-draftsight/ the green icon marked: Téléchargez DraftSight Ubuntu will download the Windows version, same thing for Fedora's version. If you click on the text link below the icons, you will get it right. However, I tried to dismantle the .rpm file from the Fedora's version and it is not recognized as an rpm (cpio) archive. So, I did use the Ubuntu (Debian package) version.

Now, here is my problem. I am trying to install it on a Gentoo 64-bit distro. For that purpose I did convert the .deb into a .tar.gz archive using the deb2targz utility. This is working fine. When I extract the file from the archive, I am getting the ./opt/dassault-systemes and ./var/opt/dassault-systemes directories and their contents. I then installed them in the / directory. I did change manually  and recursively the ownership on the entire directories and contents to root:root since it is set to inappropriate user and group by default. Then I tried to start DraftSight using the script in the /opt/dassault-systemes/draftsight/bin directory and I am getting the following error:

/opt/dassault-systemes/draftsight/bin/DraftSight.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libaudio.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
