opencl and Blender

Hello

Trying to set up Blender on gentoo, but something goes wrong. Blender runs, but when I try to install opencl in its settings it crashes immediately. I searched the web sites and found that someone was able to solve this problem by installing amdgpupro-opencl package. In my case, it didn't work. Still trying to find a solution to this issue, but with no result. Now I think, maybe I should install Blender on Wine after all? I have to try installing a couple of Windows based only programs Artec Studio etc. on it anyway.
Or is there a simple solution to this problem?

Which version of Blender?

I suppose it's <3.0 since you have the option in the settings still. Support for OpenCL was removed in 3.0, so it's a bit of a dead-end going forward.

That aside, what gets printed into the terminal when the crash happens?

Also, what does the 'clinfo' command tell us?

Appreciate for the replies
Blender is 2.93 version. Didn't know that support was removed in the latest versions, thanks
I'll do that when I get home.
