[Description Mike Nerone 2004-09-01 11:08:56 UTC]

Here's the last bit of the emerge. Same errors with multiple CFLAGS setting, including CFLAGS="".

Can you post the output of ls -l /usr/src please.

[Comment 2 Mike Nerone 2004-09-01 16:03:54 UTC]

# ls -l /usr/src
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root  30 Aug 29 20:27 linux -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-gentoo-r3
drwxr-xr-x  18 root root 752 Aug 29 20:29 linux-2.6.8-gentoo-r3
drwxr-xr-x   3 root root  72 Jul  2 17:01 xorg-x11-6.7.0-r1

I should mention that the linux tree there is currently uncompiled. Is that my problem? I'm not a C programmer, but had the impression that such information came from the include files. I'm compiling the kernel in that directory now in anticipation of your answer.

[Comment 3 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2004-09-01 16:29:08 UTC]

Dunno about needing to be built, but it definitely needs to be configured.

[Comment 4 Mike Nerone 2004-09-01 16:45:28 UTC]

It was previously only as configured as having copied in the .config and doing a make oldconfig. :)

In any case, after compiling the kernel in /usr/src/linux, I retried the emerge of svgalib, and it installed without a hitch. Thanks much for the pointer. I'll file that away for future reference.

Marking invalid. Apologies...

Same problem for me, the kernel is compiled and currently used.

Hmmm...should this be reopened or something?
