Created attachment 449878 [details, diff] Patch file Attempting to install sys-fs/zfs-kmod I encounter the following error *** Please make sure the kmod spl devel <kernel> package for your *** distribution is installed then try again. If that fails you *** can specify the location of the spl objects with the *** '--with-spl-obj=PATH' option. I can see that configure is being run against an old version of spl that resides in /usr/src. With the attached patch file the correct version is selected. I am not sure that this is the best way of patching the ebuild, perhaps $PV should be used to select the correct version of spl?
why does the old spl version exist? you defintely need to make sure sys-fs/zfs-kmod and sys-kernel/spl using the *same* version, and the sys-fs/zfs-kmod already put a hard requirement there. == snip from sys-fs/zfs-kmod ebuild == DEPEND=" =sys-kernel/spl-${PV}*
I don't understand much of the discussion here, but my sys-fs/zfs-kmod-0.6.5.8 keeps on failing with this error although sys-kernel/spl-0.6.5.8 is installed (and not other versions). 'ls -d /usr/src/spl-*' only returns : /usr/src/spl-0.6.5.8
Surely the ebuild does something wrong, my /usr/unsecure/tmp/portage/sys-fs/zfs-kmod-0.6.5.8/temp/build.log contains: * environment, line 732: Called econf '--docdir=/usr/share/doc/zfs-kmod-0.6.5.8' '--bindir=/bin' '--sbindir=/sbin' '--with-config=kernel' '--with-linux=/usr/src/linux' '--with-linux-obj=/lib/modules/4.1.25-vs2.3.8.4/build' '--with-spl=/usr/src/spl-*' '--with-spl-obj=/usr/src/spl-*/4.1.25-vs2.3.8.4' '--disable-debug' I dont like the star there, it looks like it should have been expanded before being sent to ./configure.
Follow-up and end for me: The actual error is this: ls: cannot access /usr/src/spl-*: No such file or directory I have no clue why, as if i do it by myself it works: # ls -dr /usr/src/spl-* /usr/src/spl-0.6.5.8 It might be related to the fact that /usr/src is a symbolic link but i dont understand why. Anyway i remember that in a previous bug report (can't find it right now) i already reported that it's better to let zfs find out by itself, so just remove the two following lines from ebuild and it works (for me at least): --with-spl="${EROOT}usr/src/${SPL_PATH}" --with-spl-obj="${EROOT}usr/src/${SPL_PATH}/${KV_FULL}"

Are you suggesting that I remove the old spl source directory before emerging the update?

Same problem, same solution, with kernel 4.15.11, spl-0.7.6 and zfs-kmod-0.7.6
Any news on this? Happens here too.
I keep on applying my 'turn around' on each emerge, ...
how you guys run into that? unless you do something strange I see no way how can zfs-kmod find old spl, because new spl should be installed by that moment and should have deleted old one. Please full fresh buildlog and describe how you run update process when you encounter this failure. Thanks.
I do nothing special, really. juste the usual 'emerge -u' I dont think zfs finds the old spl, as you say. First the old spl is not longer installed (as reported). And (as reported), the error looks like: > ls: cannot access /usr/src/spl-*: No such file or directory
spl is gone from the tree. closing. please re-open if you still see it with 0.8.x
