As far as I can tell, this looks like it works, but a couple of the bash scripts installed with this package don't help much to determine that. # /usr/sbin/lt_checkout The essential utility modprobe is not on the command PATH Please log into a console as Root and verify access to the modutils suite with command: # modprobe -V before re-running lt_checkout Yes, I do have it in my path: # which modprobe /sbin/modprobe # set | grep ^PATH PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.1.2:/usr/kde/3.5/sbin:/usr/kde/3.5/bin:/usr/qt/3/bin # /usr/sbin/lt_autoload To continue: Enter /usr/sbin/lt_autoload: line 74: test: too many arguments The currently serving modules tree is: /lib/modules/2.6.23-gentoo/ The modem drivers have been installeed in /lib/modules/2.4.19-plip/ltmodem/ Thus they cannot serve under the current kernel: 2.6.23-gentoo This is acceptable ONLY if a kernel + modules for kernel-version 2.4.19-plip will be later installed. Otherwise DO get advice on a suitable installer run: scanmodem The desired Installer name is like: ltmodem-kv-2.6.23-gentoo-8.22a5-1.i686.rpm The modem symbolic link is: /dev/modem -> ttyLTM0 This will conflict with support for the Lucent modem. Please : rm -f /dev/modem and assign another symbolic link to ttyLTM0, such as: ln -s ttyLTM0 /dev/modem2 Then rerun: /usr/sbin/lt_autoload Aborting on this trial. This script has some psuedo-directory (not the actual install directory) hard coded into it, and thus seems a little confused.
Well, then don't use them, these scripts are apparently fubared. :) We shouldn't install such useless stuff.
I've fixed it in ltmodem-2.6.9 by dropping kernel 2.4 support. I've also masked the old version because of the different versioning scheme. The new version is also a bump (from 2.6-alk-8 to 2.6-alk-9).

Did you compiled your /usr/src/linux-2.6.23-gentoo kernel before emerging ltmodem?
I not only compiled it before, I was running it at the time.
Works for me. I've used the gentoo-sources-2.6.23-r1 kernel.
I will try upgrading to -r1 and report.
I did eventually get this to compile (after about eight tries). I had some really strange problems, and finally wiped and reinstalled the kernel source. I think some bug still exists here, but more likely with the way that Gentoo builds modules, and not with the ltmodem package itself. Therefore, I will reclose this.
