Bug 33831 – iproute tells me: "Please, Compile the kernel first" even with kernel compiled.

The problem is that the kernel is compiled and in the propper place.
/usr/src/linux -> /usr/src/ppc-sources-2.4.22-r2

Now, the kernel is compiled (i'm using it right now), and I saw this problem quite a lot, with other aplications, normally I just removed the "kernel compiled test" and emerged them, but in this one, i don't seem to find where that is.

allready talked with lu_zero on irc, he said it will try to reproduce this...
but my guess is that your kernel compiled test is broken....

lu_zero, can you remember this discussion?  Or what does our "kernel-gurus" say?

[Comment 2 SpanKY 2004-04-06 08:13:27 UTC]

should be resolved in latest iproutes (iproute-20010824-r5 at least)
