Here is a 1.4.2 STABLE ebuild (panda3d-1.4.2.ebuild) for gentoo that I am submitting to the gentoo maintainers …
here is the request at gentoo for 1.4.2:
bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217064
and for 1.5.0
bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217066
the above bugs were compiled into
bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144259
to use (in case you don’t know how to integrate a new ebuild)
~# ebuild /usr/local/portage/media-libs/panda3d/panda3d-1.4.2.ebuild digest
then you can jsut emerge -va media-libs/panda3d
If you name the following panda3d-1.4.2.ebuild in media-libs/panda3d and then copy it to panda3d-1.5.0.ebuild it should work the same. (follow the same directions above using ebuild)
EDIT: be careful there is screwy line wrapping happening on these forums

LDPATH="/opt/panda3d/lib"IF YOU RUN INTO ISSUES UNABLE TO FIND MODULES:
The newer ebuilds I added have one issue that causes me a problem and that is with the python bindings for direct may need to be added as
ln -s /opt/panda3d/direct/ /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/and for pandac
ln -s /opt/panda3d/pandac/ /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/and also
edit /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/panda3d.pth
and add /opt/panda3d/lib
that should get you up and running if for some reason the pth files are not working as they should
