when trying to load the rlocate module with gentoo-sources-2.6.14-r5, the following errors appear in dmesg: rlocate: Unknown symbol class_simple_device_add rlocate: Unknown symbol class_simple_destroy rlocate: Unknown symbol class_simple_device_remove rlocate: Unknown symbol class_simple_create my kernel configuration is ok, according to the kernel configuration section of the rlocate homepage (http://rlocate.sourceforge.net/#kernel_configuration). reinstalling rlocate to rebuild the module doesn't work. this error can be reproduced with gentoo-sources-2.6.14-r5 (2.6.13-r3 revealed the same behaviour at my machine) by 1. emerge rlocate 2. modprobe rlocate (error) 3. dmesg | grep rlocate (displays the error messages from above)
use rlocate 0.3.3 if that fails, report the issue to the author please
emergeing rlocate-0.3.3 fails with the following error: * Installing rlocate module !!! ERROR: sys-apps/rlocate-0.3.3 failed. !!! Function src_install, Line 45, Exitcode 0 !!! (no error message) !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. using rlocate-0.3.2 however works fine, the module is registered as expected.
