Done, and there is an improvement in the error code at least: * Determining the location of the kernel source code * Found kernel source directory: * /usr/src/linux * Found kernel object directory: * /tmp/kernel * Found sources for kernel version: * 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 * getfilevar requires 2 variables, with the second a valid file. *getfilevar * Could not find a usable .config in the kernel source directory. * Please ensure that /usr/src/linux points to a configured set of Linux sources. * If you are using KBUILD_OUTPUT, please set the environment var so that * it points to the necessary object directory so that it might find .config. Why would the .config that's in the directory not be usable? I just did the make oldconfig && make as you suggested - which ran without errors ... I guess if I could read/understand bash I'd find out from "linux-info.eclass" what it wanted of .config - but that's where I come unstuck.

Re: [gentoo-user] Unable to calculate Linux Kernel version [New Thread]
Try this... ls -l /usr/src/linux uname -r these should give you the same version. If not you need to adjust the linux symlink to reflect the kernel version you are running. Then cd /usr/src/linux cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) ./ make oldconfig && make Now you should be able to do the emerges you wanted to. The point is to have your source tree in working condition, and findable, as opposed to clean. If you run different kernel versions often, try adding a few lines to /etc/conf.d/ like # -- quick hack to ease work of updating kernels and make emerges consistent # ebegin "Refreshing kernel source link to running kernel." rm -f /usr/src/linux if ! ln -s /usr/src/linux-$(uname -r) /usr/src/linux then ewarn " Bugger ... could not update. Please manually create the" ewarn " symbolic link '/usr/src/linux' to the running kernel source." ewend 1 fi # -- -- I think we are in Rats' Alley where the dead men lost their bones. -- T.S.

Hi,
Check to make sure that "/usr/src/linux" link point to your
current/working kernel. svgalib depends on kernel link to build.
