Trying to emerge capi4k-utils-20040614 (maybe other versions, too) with kernel 2.6.8.1 leads to an error, furthermore a new version is available (2004-08-10).

you should have a look at but #52001 - It's not a real duplicate but it's somewhat related. I also posted some workaround there and there are ebuilds for capi4k-utils-20040810, too. the workaround for the compile problem is to change /usr/include/linux/capi.h line 80 so that it looks like those from the older linux26-headers replace /usr/include/linux/capi.h:80 void __user *data; with void *data; after that capi4k-utils will compile fine again. I don't know what the impact for other programs depending on capi.h is (if there are any), so maybe someone more experienced should have a look at it. What I can say is that capi4k-utils do compile and I can go online with fcdsl... so you should give it a try (but remember that you have changed capi.h just in case something else goes wrong;-)
If you merge a fresh set of linux26-headers, and on line 17 of /usr/include/linux/capi.h you add "#include <linux/compiler.h>" does the problem also go away?
Well, the trick with replace /usr/include/linux/capi.h:80 void __user *data; with void *data; after that capi4k-utils will compile fine again. should work, because I'd read about it in some forums. Because of problems with linux26-headers-2.6.8.1 I replaced it with version 2.6.7, so I couldn't verify that the second solution works. Sorry....
If you merge a fresh set of linux26-headers, and on line 17 of /usr/include/linux/capi.h you add "#include <linux/compiler.h>" does the problem also go away? Ok, everything seems to be fine, so I think the solution that Tim Yamin has posted here is the nicer way to resolve this problem
Fixed - "emerge sync" and remerge your headers and you should no longer experience this issue with 2.6.8.1 headers. If you still have any issues then please reopen this bug.
