Hi, Gentoo, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Hope someone can shed some light on continuing emerge failures for zfs |
| 4 |
since gnetoo-sources-4.4.39 and zfs-0.6.5.8. I was able to install |
| 5 |
that version of zfs with that kernel last November on one of my |
| 6 |
machines, but have been unable to upgrade zfs since then, or to |
| 7 |
install it in any newer kernel, or even to re-install the same version |
| 8 |
on the same kernel. |

|
| 10 |
Emerge fails consistently in the configuration phase for spl with the |
| 11 |
following snippet in the log: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
checking kernel source directory... /usr/src/linux |
| 14 |
checking kernel build directory... /lib/modules/4.12.5-gentoo/build |
| 15 |
checking kernel source version... Not found |
| 16 |
configure: error: *** Cannot find UTS_RELEASE definition. |

Googling around for the "Cannot find UTS_RELEASE" complaint reveals |
| 36 |
that a few people have encountered this problem over the years. It |
| 37 |
appeared in those cases to be attributable to the user running the |
| 38 |
configuration script not having sufficient authority to read |
| 39 |
./include/generated/utsrelease.h in the kernel tree. As far as I can |
| 40 |
tell, I think I ought to have sufficient permission to read that file. |
| 41 |
I've gone so far as to chmod 777 the entire kernel tree to ensure |
| 42 |
sufficient access. No luck with that "solution": same error. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
I've tried strace on emerge to see if I could figure out what it's |
| 45 |
doing when it's looking for UTS_RELEASE, but no luck with that |
| 46 |
either. Nothing that I can find in Bugzilla, either, although that |
| 47 |
could be due to inexperience in using it. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Any idea what could be going on, or how I could go about debugging it |
| 50 |
more effectively? |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Thanks, |
| 53 |
