I have recently updated a grosly out of date system. The update included a fresh install of linux-headers-2.4.21. The update also involved nfs-utils and dhcpcd. Neither dhcpcd nor nfs-utils will build. They both complain of missing files in /usr/include/linux specifically version.h and kernel.h Here is the output of nfs-utils: getkversion.c:9:27: linux/version.h: No such file or directory make[3]: *** [dep] Error 1 make[2]: *** [dep] Error 2 make[1]: *** [dep] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/nfs-utils-1.0.6/work/nfs-utils-1.0.6' make: *** [utils/statd/.depend] Error 2 !!! ERROR: net-fs/nfs-utils-1.0.6 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 30, Exitcode 2 !!! Failed to compile And the output of dhcpcd: In file included from dhcpconfig.c:40: kversion.h:26:27: linux/version.h: No such file or directory kversion.h:29:2: #error Unknown Linux kernel version In file included from cache.c:30: kversion.h:26:27: linux/version.h: No such file or directory kversion.h:29:2: #error Unknown Linux kernel version make: *** [cache.o] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... dhcpconfig.c: In function `dhcpConfig': dhcpconfig.c:228: error: storage size of `sap' isn't known dhcpconfig.c:228: warning: unused variable `sap' make: *** [dhcpconfig.o] Error 1 !!! ERROR: net-misc/dhcpcd-1.3.22_p4-r2 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 48, Exitcode 2 !!! (no error message) Attempting to locate the files yeilds no results either. They just dont exist. Is this a known issue? (I was not able to find a dupe bug). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

I'm having this problem too, missing /usr/include/linux/version.h.

this problem was with the kernel.eclass I updated last night this was rectified proomptly by reverting back to the older one, and I have a fixed versin here which I shall commit shortly. please emerge sync and retry merging linux-headers it will fix all your problems ;)
