Description Frank Lomax 2004-09-22 08:05:21 UTC

I just emerge sync'd and emerge updated.  This fails when trying to update svgalib, with the following error message:

[...]
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST
/bin/sh: line 1: scripts/modpost: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [__modpost] Error 127
make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.7-gentoo-r13'
make: *** [default] Error 2

!!! ERROR: media-libs/svgalib-1.9.19-r1 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 86, Exitcode 2
!!! Failed to build kernel module!



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sync
2. emerge --update svgalib
3.

have you built your kernel in /usr/src/linux/ ?

Comment 2 Frank Lomax 2004-09-22 10:57:49 UTC

That was the problem!  /usr/src/linux was pointing to kernel source I hadn't built yet.  Thanks.
