Thank you David. On an x86 machine running kernel 2.6.17-gentoo-r4 I |
| 26 |
found /usr/src/linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r2/Makefile. I downloaded that |
| 27 |
Makefile to the /usr/src/linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r2 directory of my amd64 |
| 28 |
machine running 2.6.22-gentoo-r2. Doing "eix-sync" and "emerge |
| 29 |
ati-drivers" then produced the following response: |
| 30 |

The build log and ebuild environment files are attached. |

Doing "ls -l" in my /usr/src/linux directory produces a list including |
| 80 |
the following line: |
| 81 |
-rw-r--r-- 1 john john 50411 Jun 22 09:09 Makefile |
| 82 |
|
| 83 |
I'd be grateful for ideas about how to help emerge detect the kernel |
| 84 |
version. |
