Bah! try cd /usr/src/linux make menuconfig exit out of that and save in the process. Try the emerge again. Stupid software ;) No, still the same error. However I thought I'd try the following: export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/usr/src/linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r10 - and then try the emerge svgalib again. This time it emerged no problem. Not very satisfactory, other than achieving the emerge. Why/how am I using KBUILD_OUTPUT? (see above) Mystery to me. Now I guess I get this every time an ebuild uses /usr/portage/eclass/linux-info.class - and it looks from bugzilla that more and more are moving over to it. And why only me? Only clue I have is from gentoo forum where someone found a miscompiled coreutils [/bin/echo] was producing same error as I got above. He worked through the bash file and found that was the problem. I recompiled coreutils in case (I'd had a bad memory stick earlier this year) but that didn't help. Maybe eventually when everything on my box is upgraded/recompiled I'll get back to normal. Thanks.

[gentoo-user] Unable to calculate Linux Kernel version [New Thread]
Hi - have re-compiled as indicated, but it hasn't helped. Now running
2.6.12-gentoo-r10 without problems, but still have the previous error on
*some* ebuilds i.e. svgalib lm_sensors.
As established earlier correct links are all in place, the correct .config is
in the source, directory, as is Makefile - and /include/linux/verion.h
exists.
I have googled extensively, including gentoo forums, where similar errors have
been produced, but nothing suggested solved my problem. Most were related to
non-existent .config and/or Makefile.
Following is the error message:
snip
!!! ERROR: media-libs/svgalib-1.9.21-r1 failed.
!!! Function linux-info_pkg_setup, Line 526, Exitcode 1
!!! Unable to calculate Linux Kernel version
snip
When I look at Line 526 in /usr/portage/eclass/linux-info.eclass I find the
following:
snip
525linux-info_pkg_setup() {
526get_version || die Unable to calculate Linux Kernel version
527[ -n ${CONFIG_CHECK} ] check_extra_config;
snip
From here on in - I'm struggling with bash and can't make sense of it: any
pointers would be appreciated.

Hi,
Check to make sure that /usr/src/linux link point to your
current/working kernel. svgalib depends on kernel link to build.

Yes, that's the other thing I was thinking, since Bogo has now shown the symlink does exist; some applications won't compile against unconfigured and/or uncompiled kernel source. So I went to look at my log from my recent (successful) emerge of svgalib, but it didn't say much of anything to indicate where the problem might actually be in this case: [32;01m*[0m Determining the location of the kernel source code [32;01m*[0m Found kernel source directory: [32;01m*[0m /usr/src/linux [32;01m*[0m Found sources for kernel version: [32;01m*[0m 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 So a successful compile doesn't really hold any clues as to why the version number the link points to cannot be determined, if the /usr/src/linux link is found, leaving only stuff [I] happen to know because it happened to me once or twice kinda answers.

AAMOI do you also have source link as well as build Matthias? My build link must have been created when I first installed gentoo, the source must have been created when I last recompiled i.e. August 27. Don't know whether that's significant.

Thanks Holly for your contribution (always enjoy your analyses of these problems - one reason I love this list!) Yes, it has been configured and compiled - the last time being the link date Matthias pointed out was created: August 27. I guess I can always re-compile, etc. as Dave has pointed out - but I'd rather get to the bottom of this one first if I can. A gentoo forum search was talking about modversion.h being present in the compiled version, but I think they must have meant version.h - which I see is in the compiled sources - but not in the unconfigured/uncompiled sources. Mine in linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r4 contains: rugosa linux # cat version.h #define UTS_RELEASE 2.6.11-gentoo-r4 #define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132619 #define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) 16) + ((b) 8) + (c)) This is dated Apr 3, the original compile date - not the latest Aug 27. I guess I'd thought it might have been re-made on re-compile. Don't know whether this might mean something?

Hi Simple problem, simple answer I'm sure. Not clear to me ex-list or google. Trying to emerge svgalib-1.9.21 get following error: Could not detect kernel version Please ensure that /usr/src/linux points to complete set of kernel sources Function linux-info_pkg_setup line 521 Exitcode 1 Unable to calculate linux kernel version Link is in place: /usr/src/- linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r4 /usr/src/linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r4 exists .config exists in this directory modversion.h exists in /usr/src/linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r4/include/ What more can I do?
