When I try to emerge ftpfs on my Gentoo system, it faild when trying to update /lib/modules/2.4.19/modules.dep.
Which kernel were you running as you tried to emerge ftpfs? Was it 2.4.19 or some other kernel?
It was kernel-sources-2.4.19-r1 and kernel-headers-2.4.19-r1. The kernel was unpatched.
then it should have booted a linux-2.4.19-r1 kernel, and the libraries are then /lib/modules/2.4.19-r1/ odd. are you certain you had that kernel version -running- as well?
okies, I fixed this with a sed to remove the depmod stuff in the makefiles, should be working now,
