[gentoo-catalyst] net-dialup/ppp-2.4.2-r15 build error

[Ted Kosan]

Hello,

I am in the process of adding packages to a LiveCD I am building and in stage 1
I am receiving the error included below from net-dialup/ppp-2.4.2-r15.  It
appears that it is havivng trouble locating a valid kernel .config file during
its attempt to determine the kernel version.

The example below uses mm-sources but I also received the error when I used
gentoo-sources.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what might be causing this error?

Thanks in advance,

Ted
