svgalib shouldn
Comment 1 Alexander Winston 2003-08-21 11:29:13 UTC 
svgalib shouldnt be looking in /usr/src/* for Linux kernel versions.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -vuD svgalib

Actual Results:  
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) media-libs/svgalib-1.9.17-r3 to /
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) svgalib-1.9.17.tar.gz
 * 
 * Could not determine your kernel version.
 * Make sure that you have /usr/src/linux symlink.
 * And that said kernel has been configured.
 * You can also simply run the following command
 * in the kernel referenced by /usr/src/linux:
 *  make include/linux/version.h
 * 

!!! ERROR: media-libs/svgalib-1.9.17-r3 failed.
!!! Function check_KV, Line 216, Exitcode 0
!!! (no error message)

Expected Results:  
Installed as normal.

where would you have it look ? 
afaik linux-headers is not sufficient ...
Comment 3 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-08-21 13:34:25 UTC 
The Gentoo way is that packages should use the sources in /usr/src/linux, as it
is much more flexible (you can compile nvidia-kernel/whatever while still on
old kernel).  If anything, file a bug with the docs people if you are 100%
sure it is not in the documentation.
Comment 4 Alexander Winston 2003-08-21 14:06:00 UTC 
The Linux kernel version is available in /usr/include/linux/version.h
Comment 5 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-08-21 16:10:37 UTC 
read azarah's comment again and you will see why this wont be 'fixed'
