after emerge sync and emerge portage (22nd Oct 2005) I attempted to emerge -v ati-drivers. This invokes linux-mod.eclass. linux-mod.eclass contains a minor typo that will always return lib as the gcc version that the kernel was built with. This will prevent users from installing any package that has to be dependency checked against the kernel gcc version Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge portage 2. emerge -v ati-drivers 3. Actual Results: emerge ati-drivers failed with GCC kernel version mismatch (incorrect - there has been no change on this system of gcc - -there is only one version installed) Expected Results: ati-drivers should have successfully merged. /usr/portage/eclass/linux-mod.eclass contains a line: tmpfile=${tmpfile//*usr/lib/} which should read tmpfile=${tmpfile//*usr\/lib/} I've corrected the line in my copy of /usr/portage/eclass/linux-mod.eclass and successfully emerged ati-drivers with no other changes to my system.
This will block any non core kernel kernel modules from installing on any system its active on... is simple typo. emerge info now that I'm connected to the system again *grin* Portage 2.0.53_rc6 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.3.6, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.13-gentoo-r4x86_64-fb-pwc i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.13-gentoo-r4x86_64-fb-pwc i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre9 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.11 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-xp" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-xp" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow X aim alsa apache2 apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdparanoia cdr crypt cups curl directfb dri dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode esd evo exif fam fbcon ffmpeg flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml icq imagemagick imlib ipv6 java jpeg kde kdeenablefinal ldap libg++ libwww lm_sensors mad mbox mikmod milter mime mmap mmx mng motif mozilla mp3 mpeg msn mysql ncurses nls nsplugin ogg oggvorbis opengl oscar oss pam pcre pdflib perl php png ppds python qt quicktime readline samba sdl sharedmem sockets speex spell sse ssl svg svga tcpd threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev usb v4l2 vorbis win32codecs wmf x86 xine xml2 xmms xv xvid yahoo zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY

doh! Thanks for noticing. The boxes I tested didn't show this up. I've changed this locally already, and for now the check_vermagic stuff isnt active in the eclass until I sort out something for mixed arches.
