/usr/src/linux/include/{linux,scsi,asm-*}. Oh, yes I've tried linking
/usr/src/... into /usr/include/... (which IIRC is what you had to do in

Yea, I didn't think they did (though it did take some testing etc. to

You certainly can fiddle around with the ebuilds and start using the 2.6 headers, though. I've done two NPTL installs so far, and haven't had any problems whatsoever with glibc. If you use X or svgalib, however, you will have problems getting those to compile correctly. Both of mine have been server installs, so I haven't needed those packages. In case anyone is feeling experimental (if not then you probably shouldnt be messing with NPTL in the first place.. not yet anyways), I installed w/NPTL by doing the following: 1) Boot LiveCD 2) Do normal install stuff until you get to the part where you need to edit make.conf 3) Put nptl in the USE flags 4) Edit /usr/portage/sys-kernel/linux-headers/linux-headers-2.6.ebuild and add you architecture to the KEYWORDS varibale after -*, for example KEYWORDS=-* x86 5) Run /usr/portage/scripts/bootstrap-2.6.sh to start stage 1. 6) Add ~x86 to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS in make.conf. This is needed for NPTL. 7) continue install while crossing fingers. HTH, Aaron -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list I have not run across any problems, other than X and svgalib and mentioned above. For a work around I used X version 4.3.99.902 and it compiled fine and seems rock stable. As for svgalib, I used the -B flag on one of my stable machines and just installed the binary package that way.

What applications are you using? I've been running 2.5/2.6 for six months with no problems, but no nptl. On the desktop system, I use gads of stuff, including KDE, GNOME, enlightenment (which is my primary window manager), OpenOffice, Abiword, Gnumeric, gaim, evolution, samba, nfs, openldap, mysql, MozillaFirebird, etc. I'm running off of an nvidia card using the 4496 drivers, since they seem to work better than the 5528 or 5532 drivers. I haven't tried the 5536 drivers yet. On the internet system, it's a bit more stripped down, as it's a headless box with more specific purposes, and is running stuff like apache w/ssl,php,mod_perl, mysql, openldap, postfix, etc. As far as what I did when switching over to nptl in both cases, I first booted from a 2.6 kernel. Then I added the nptl USE variable, and did an emerge glibc. When that was done, I then did an emerge -e system. Then as stuff broke, I recompiled it as well. Some of the more notable things that I had to recompile were apache, mysql, php, and X (for the desktop). In the case of X, it wasn't broken to the point of not working, but it had become quite flaky. Since the recompile, it hasn't given me any trouble. Unfortunately, since I didn't run into any problems, I'm not very good at offering any troubleshooting advice. :) Hope this is the sort of thing you were looking for.

Or is there possibly a different version of the kernel that has the most up to date Alsa already in it? I know with 1394, which has come with the kernel for a long time now, you could download CVS and then just replace the drivers/ieee1394 directory and everything would work fine.

The bottom line is sendmail/ssmtp doesn't have to run as a daemon to _send_ mail, sinc it will be invoked by the mailx program (or your mail client). Mike -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] emerge -C glibc
I posted a few months ago about my boot process stopping at: mounting proc at /proc I finally realized what was wrong when I chrooted in and mount produced an error like GLIBC no good. So I emerge -C glibc, with intentions of reemerging. Obviosly, as I realized seconds later, this was a very bad decision by Ben. Does anyone know if I can recover from this? I think I'll just start gentoo over again. But seriously, why did Gentoo screw up my boot process (glibc) in the first place. Perhaps I'll try Debain. Thanks, Ben -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Nope. Newer baselayout versions do that for you. I'm pretty sure that even the stable baselayout will do it if /sys exists... Sweeet ... thanks for the info! Sean -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
