Hi - have re-compiled as indicated, but it hasn't helped. Now running 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 without problems, but still have the previous error on *some* ebuilds i.e. svgalib & lm_sensors.
As established earlier correct links are all in place, the correct .config is in the source, directory, as is Makefile - and /include/linux/verion.h exists. I have googled extensively, including gentoo forums, where similar errors have been produced, but nothing suggested solved my problem. Most were related to non-existent .config and/or Makefile. Following is the error message: <snip> !!! ERROR: media-libs/svgalib-1.9.21-r1 failed. !!! Function linux-info_pkg_setup, Line 526, Exitcode 1 !!! Unable to calculate Linux Kernel version <snip> When I look at Line 526 in /usr/portage/eclass/linux-info.eclass I find the following: <snip> 525 linux-info_pkg_setup() { 526 get_version || die "Unable to calculate Linux Kernel version" 527 [ -n "${CONFIG_CHECK}" ] && check_extra_config; <snip> >From here on in - I'm struggling with bash and can't make sense of it: any pointers would be appreciated.
