The problem might be that I run a 32-bit system?

That is what I would suspect.  Try building DwarfTherapist yourself from https://github.com/splintermind/Dwarf-Therapist/commits/DF2014

I'm also on gentoo, actually.  I solved the png issue by just recompiling libgraphics.so (via this repo ), putting the output libgraphics.so in df_linux/libs, and removing all other lib* files in there.

edit: I should also note that I have a slight patch against that repo to get it to work with how gentoo installs ncurses:

DT:DF2014 just merged my qt4-compat branch, so DT should be compilable now on machines that don't have qt5.

If you are getting complaints about "(", it's not a java problem.  I suspect you just have a *really* old version of your shell which can't interpret the "new", preferred $(...) syntax:

dt_capabilities=$(/sbin/getcap LNP/utilities/dwarf_therapist/DwarfTherapist | cut -f2 -d"=")

Try changing that line in startlnp to:

dt_capabilities=`/sbin/getcap LNP/utilities/dwarf_therapist/DwarfTherapist | cut -f2 -d"="`

(those are backticks -- from the key that also produces "~").

I couldn't find exactly how old your shell has to be to not support $(...), but this page says:

`...` is the legacy syntax required by only the very oldest of non-POSIX-compatible bourne-shells.
