1 Nikos,

3 Thank your response to my last query.
4
5 Doing "cd /usr/src/linux"
6 generates the response
7 make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
8
9 Doing
10 zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
11 make oldconfig
12 gets the same response:
13 make: *** No rule to make target `oldconfig'. Stop.
14
15 Since my last note I've make new uses of the "emerge" command. As a
16 result "emerge --resume" finds nothing to resume. However, doing "emerge
17 ati-drivers" still elicits the following response:
18
19 * Found kernel source directory:
20 * /usr/src/linux
21 * Could not find a Makefile in the kernel source directory.
22 * Please ensure that /usr/src/linux points to a complete set of Linux
23 sources

31 * The specific snippet of code:

33 * The die message:

36 * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack
37 if relevant.
