• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description barthek 2005-01-11 01:37:20 UTC]

I could have not found exactly this error in gentoo bugzilla so here I'm posting...
I can not compile mentioned ebuild:

[Comment 1 SpanKY 2005-01-11 06:25:23 UTC]

prob linux-headers related ?

[Comment 2 barthek 2005-01-11 06:38:52 UTC]

the offending header file comes from glibc
(at least on my system)
have no idea whether it is affected by any other headers...

[Comment 3 SpanKY 2005-01-11 16:27:48 UTC]

/usr/include/linux/if_fddi.h is not provided by glibc but by linux-headers

[Comment 4 barthek 2005-01-12 13:14:58 UTC]

hmm
1g ~ # epm -q -l glibc | grep fddi   
/usr/include/netinet/if_fddi.h

is there something wrong with my systems ?

[Comment 5 SpanKY 2005-01-12 15:13:18 UTC]

you said /usr/include/netinet/if_fddi.h

i said /usr/include/linux/if_fddi.h

these files are not the same

[Comment 6 barthek 2005-01-14 05:07:56 UTC]

yes, my mistake. my apologies :)

i do not have linux headers on my systems
(it is injected but includes are linked
to current kernel source's includes)

[Comment 7 SpanKY 2005-01-14 06:17:43 UTC]

ok, well that isnt supported by Gentoo ;)

re-open if the real linux-headers package still has a failure

I had this problem on a custom stage1 with 2.4 kernel and /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/no-nptl/2.4 profile. 

found the solution on : http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/10/19/276

Hi.

*** Bug 168141 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

[Comment 10 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2007-02-23 15:22:47 UTC]

Still broken; we should really unmask 2.6 headers on 2.4 profiles.

[Comment 11 SpanKY 2007-02-27 15:16:53 UTC]

old bug not suitable for tracking

also, need to decide on gentoo-dev list, not on bugzilla, as to whether this is what we even want
