Description Jonathan Hayward 2009-10-16 20:34:35 UTC

open-vmware-tools wants /usr/src/linux/.config. Running find /usr/src -name .config does not turn up anything on this system, even after re-emerging gentoo-sources.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge -av open-vmware-tools
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Crash complaining about missing /usr/src/linux/.config

Expected Results:  
Successful compilation/install of open-vmware-tools.
