Bugzilla Bug 118214

If I attempt to emerge sys-fs/fuse-2.4.2 while running a kernel with fuse
built-in, the ebuild properly identifies fuse being in the kernel. It tells me
that it will skip building the module. However, in the installation step, the
emerge fails because it cannot find 'fuse.ko'.

Error:

 * Determining the location of the kernel source code
 * Found kernel source directory:
 * /usr/src/linux
 * Found sources for kernel version:
 * 2.6.15-gentoo
 * Checking for suitable kernel configuration options:
 *   We have detected FUSE already built into the kernel.
We will continue, but we wont build the module this time.
 * Please check to make sure these options are set correctly.
 * Failure to do so may cause unexpected problems.

<compilation steps omitted>

 * Installing fuse module
install: cannot stat `fuse.ko': No such file or directory


Steps to reproduce:
1. Run a kernel with fuse built-in.
2. Emerge sys-fs/fuse.

That's normal behaviour, not a failure. The ebuild does not build the module if
already compiled in kernel.

So how do I get libfuse, fuse.pc, fuse.h, etc. to install? sshfs-fuse needs
those files to compile, but if I have fuse built into the kernel, I won't have
those files.

There's NO failure in the output you have posted, it's normal behaviour. If the
ebuild actually fails for you, then you need to post real errors. 

Sorry. Emerge says not to include those lines, but I guess in this case they're
pretty important!

Sorry about this, this is some 2.6.15 specific crap, not reproducible with
<2.6.15 at all.
