As it says, make sure /usr/src/linux is a link to a kernel source you have configured, usually the running kernel. It looks like it currently points to newly-installed sources that you have not yet run make menuconfig/xconfig on. -- Neil Bothwick WinErr 012: Window closed - Do not look inside signature.asc Description: PGP signature

If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. I'm not sure what's meant by the topmost build error, but as it's not too large, I included everything. What is meant is the last output right before ERROR:; in this case, it is * 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. 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
