I'm running a fairly recent 2.6.18 (rc5) kernel. While all config vars are correct (and the currently running kernel matches the one in /usr/src/linux), rlocate does not compile: # emerge rlocate Calculating dependencies... done! >>> Emerging (1 of 1) sys-apps/rlocate-0.5.1 to / * rlocate-0.5.1.tar.gz size ;-) ...

Digging through the config.log and looking at the failed program, we see that UTS_RELEASE is needed - somthing that used to be defined in /usr/src/linux/include//linux/version.h This is *not* the case with my 2.6.18-rc5 kernel. Putting it there (just for testing) results in all sorts of different error messages. I'd recommend adding a check for kernel versions to the ebuild and bail out if it's >=2.6.18 for now. Or at least until a compatible version of rlocate is released. emerge --info: Portage 2.1.1 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-4.1.1/vanilla, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.18-rc5 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.18-rc5 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.4 Last Sync: Thu, 14 Sep 2006 00:50:01 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] app-admin/eselect-compiler: 2.0.0_rc1-r5 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r3 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r3 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.freenet.de/pub/ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo http://mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/gentoo/" LC_ALL="en_US.utf8" LINGUAS="" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X a52 acpi aim alsa apache2 apm audiofile bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts browserplugin bzip2 bzlib cli crypt cups curlwrappers divx4linux dlloader dri dv dvd dvdread dxr3 elibc_glibc emboss encode esd ethereal exif exiscan exiscan-acl fame fftw font-server foomaticdb fortran ftp gdbm gif gimpprint gnutls gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 icq imap imlib input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse isdnlog jabber jpeg kdeenablefinal kernel_linux libg++ libwww mad maildir mailwrapper mikmod mmap mmx mng motif mp3 mpeg mpi ncurses network nls nptl nptlonly offensive ogg oss pam pcre perl png pppd python qt3 qt4 quicktime readline recode reflection sdl session sndfile spell spl sse ssl svg sysvipc tcpd theora truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb userland_GNU v4l v4l2 video_cards_apm video_cards_v4l video_cards_vesa video_cards_vga vorbis wmf wxwindows xml xmms xorg xpm xv xvid yv12 zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS (config.log attachment will follow)

Yep, the patch has an issue cause the file in kernel to include isn't # include "$kerneldir/include/linux/utsversion.h" (at least in gentoo-sources-2.6.18 isn't this) but # include "$kerneldir/include/linux/utsrelease.h" ( rlocate-0.5.2-utsversion.patch ) changing it in this way it worked fine......
i dont have 2.6.18 myself so i was going my lkml as what the name was fixed in cvs
