it's a kernel thang afaik
In what sense is it a kernel issue? Is it incompatible with the 2.4.20 kernel? Is it one of the gentoo-sources patches? Is it a kernel config problem?
That's not a kernel issue, that's barfed includes. I haven't looked at the source, I will do later if none of you are bothered to, but if that thing needs kernel headers, it should use kernel headers not /usr/include/...
This looks suspiciously related to bug 29280. Can you please paste the output of: portageq best_version / virtual/os-headers
ian@minion ian $ portageq best_version / virtual/os-headers sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.19-r1
Odd, you haven't patched your kernel headers with v4l2 have you? If not, what does the following say? grep -r /usr/include/linux/videodev2.h `find /var/db/pkg -name CONTENTS` and for completeness what about: grep -r /usr/include/linux/videodev.h `find /var/db/pkg -name CONTENTS`
Nope. I let the gentoo-sources people deal with the patching :) ian@minion ian $ grep -r /usr/include/linux/videodev2.h `find /var/db/pkg -name CONTENTS` ian@minion ian $ grep -r /usr/include/linux/videodev.h `find /var/db/pkg -name CONTENTS` /var/db/pkg/sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.18/CONTENTS:obj /usr/include/linux/videodev.h 6b11fd335c0d1dcb8756b9f8cec722f3 1018217090 /var/db/pkg/sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.19-r1/CONTENTS:obj /usr/include/linux/videodev.h 7c8dbca286f92e265634e6aa9845e688 1061688763
this is now fixed. for some reason my linux-headers were screwed up. after unmerging and re-emerging linux-headers, and it is all good.
