No, still the same error. However I thought I'd try the following: |
22 |
|
23 |
export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/usr/src/linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r10 |
24 |
|
25 |
- and then try the emerge svgalib again. This time it emerged no problem. |
26 |
|
27 |
Not very satisfactory, other than achieving the emerge. Why/how am I using |
28 |
KBUILD_OUTPUT? (see above) Mystery to me. Now I guess I get this every time |
29 |
an ebuild uses /usr/portage/eclass/linux-info.class - and it looks from |
30 |
bugzilla that more and more are moving over to it. |
31 |
|
32 |
And why only me? Only clue I have is from gentoo forum where someone found a |
33 |
miscompiled coreutils [/bin/echo] was producing same error as I got above. He |
34 |
worked through the bash file and found that was the problem. I recompiled |
35 |
coreutils in case (I'd had a bad memory stick earlier this year) but that |
36 |
didn't help. Maybe eventually when everything on my box is |
37 |
upgraded/recompiled I'll get back to "normal". |

Thanks. |
