This package compiles against the kernel, as you can see from * Determining the location of the kernel source code * Found kernel source directory: * /usr/src/linux However, the kernel source that the /usr/src/linux symlink points to has not been configured using make (menu/x)config. Therefore there is no .config file that the package can examine to ensure that the kernel source in question has/will be built with the support that the package requires. You don't have to build or install this kernel source, but you do have to configure it (properly for the submount package) before you attempt to install the submount package. I'd think that the wiki entry will detail the necessary kernel settings. Hope this helps. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
