When I try to emerge lirc (I am trying to build gxine and lirc is a dependency) I get the following error: Making all in lirc_dev make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/lirc-0.6.6-r1/work/lirc-0.6.6/drivers/lirc_dev' Makefile:380: /usr/src/linux//Rules.make: No such file or directory make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux//Rules.make'.

ERROR: app-misc/lirc-0.6.6-r1 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 105, Exitcode 2 !!! (no error message) I noticed that bug 42270 concerns the lirc ebuild as well but they appear to be unrelated to my untrained eye. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge lirc 2. receive error message 3. file bug Actual Results: The emerge failed with error.

please use 0.7.0_pre2 for 2.6 kernels
Thanks. I did an `emerge sync` and lirc-0.7.0_pre2 is now the latest and greatest and merged just fine. During the merge, it told me that I needed to get a patch per http://lwn.net/Articles/42217 for the 2.6.x kernel but it seemed to build just fine without. I'm running 2.6.3-gentoo-r1 ... has the patch been incorporated into the kernel?
