what is wrong with kernel sources . i dont understand why shfs fails to emerge.

Padoor, I don't think that there's anything wrong with the kernel sources. It's not referring to the kernel source directory when it fails. Can you look through the compile log to make sure that you've found the topmost build error?

Padoor, it's building fine against my 2.6.20 kernel. Apparently there's a reason why the 2.6.23 kernel is still hard masked. Have you tried emerging shfs against a stable branch kernel?

- John

[padoor]

i have kernel-2.6.21-gentoo-r2
i can try eselect set default to /usr/src/linux and try to emerge shfs again.
else i have to emerge 2.6.20 mostly i may not find the patches in portage.
untill recently i had kept all bzImages in /boot from 2.5.15 ... 2.6.23
just last week only i cleaned out un ecessaary files for space.
tough luck this new kernel i got configured to work with my laptop with all frills like ntfs writing acpi brightnesscontrol sound and all.
i will try to emegre shfs for 2.6.21 first and then try to get 2.6.20

thanks for your post john_r_graham
i would never have thought the kernel itself is giving this problem.

Filesystems are very kernel centric. Any time you're dealing with a filesystem, you'll at least be dealing with kernel header files. In this case, the build messages indicated that it was reaching into the kernel source tree for something. That was my clue.

- John

[padoor]

in my desktop 2 installations have 2.6.20 kernel and shfs emerge fine in both of them.
is it enough to copy /usr/src/linux=2.6.20-gentoo to laptop/usr/src/
and male && make modules_install
that may save downloading of sources and patches.
