• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Timothy Stotts 2006-03-27 12:17:32 UTC]

Attempted the following:

$ sudo emerge -pv libggi
[ebuild     U ] media-libs/libgii-0.9.0 [0.8.1] +X 0 kB 
[ebuild     U ] media-libs/libggi-2.1.1 [2.0.1-r1] (-3dfx) +X +aalib -debug -directfb +fbcon (-mmx) (-svga) (-vis) 905 kB 

Compilation fails with undefined symbols in /usr/include/linux/keyboard.h.
This ebuild has stable keyword.

See attached log files.

First things first, check the output of:

emerge -pv virtual/os-headers

and see what it outputs, also make sure that whatever it outputs is the lastest version (after an emerge --sync of course). This looks to be a kernel-headers issue.

[Comment 4 Timothy Stotts 2006-03-27 14:08:17 UTC]

Had already checked that.  Yes, I also assume that it is a kernel headers issue.

$ sudo emerge -pv virtual/os-headers
[ebuild   R   ] sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.11-r2  36,470 kB 

My system is using gentoo-sources-2.6.16, which is has some significant changes from gentoo-sources-2.6.11.  Could this be an issue?  I doubt it, since libgii doesn't seem to care about /usr/src/linux or /lib/modules/ ; only, /usr/include/linux .

In fact, my system is completely up-to-date for the latest stable PPC package for all system-level libraries and apps, and most everything else.

[Comment 5 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) 2006-04-02 14:03:34 UTC]

It is a kernel headers issue.  I spoke with the rest of the ppc team and we agreed to stablize 2.6.11-r4 to fix this on the stable profile.  Thanks for reporting the issue!

Please reopen the bug if you have further issues.
