Can you please run and paste in the output of:

1) grep -m4 ".*" /usr/src/linux/Makefile
2) emerge -p linux-headers
3) md5sum /usr/portage/media-libs/svgalib/files/svgalib-1.9.17-linux2.6.patch

Thanks.

I am having the same problem. I just installed Gentoo for the first time about 5 days ago, and ran into this issue while trying to install KDE. I have Kernel 2.4.24 from Vanilla source. Here is the output that you requested.

1.) grep -m4 ".*" /usr/src/linux/Makefile
VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 4
SUBLEVEL = 24
EXTRAVERSION = 

2.) emerge -p linux-headers

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.21

3.) md5sum /usr/portage/media-libs/svgalib/files/svgalib-1.9.17-linux2.6.patch

I hope this helps. Thanks.

[Comment 3 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2004-02-23 08:33:24 UTC]

Hmm, you don't seem to have any headers. Try merging linux-headers and see if that helps...

[Comment 4 Josh Sled 2004-02-23 08:48:41 UTC]

I'm having the same problem [same versions, errors, &c].

merging linux-headers[-2.4.21] doesn't help me. :(

OK, can you please try applying this patch on
/usr/portage/media-libs/svgalib/files/svgalib-1.9.17-linux2.6.patch and tell us
whether it works or fails?

Thanks.

Fixed in CVS, should hit Portage in an hour. Thanks.
