20 No, I haven't. Are you sure your klibc is built against a clean tree
21 that hasn't been patched with splash?
22
23 You might want to check for the presence of the following file:
24
25 /usr/lib/klibc/include/linux/console_splash.h
26
27 If it's not there, you should get a warning about missing fbsplash
28 when merging splashutils. If you get the warning and it still fails to
29 compile, then I have a bug to fix :)
