 Posted: Mon Aug 23, 2004 11:31 pm Post subject: Problems after emerge of gentoo-dev-sources Kernel |
 |
|
I'm installing Gentoo using the LiveCD method with a network connection. I'm currently stuck at the step where I create a symbolic link to the kernel source.
I ran this command to install the kernel source:
#emerge gentoo-dev-sources
Then I looked for the symlink and this is what I'm getting:
#ls -l /usr/src/linux
total 0
Creating the symlink wouldn't be a big deal, but I'm not sure what to point it to. In the Gentoo Handbook (a few lines down from this link), it tells me to enter:
# rm /usr/src/linux
# cd /usr/src
# ln -s linux-2.4.26-gentoo-r6 linux
But this link isn't correct for the gentoo-dev-sources kernel... it should be linux-2.6.something. I've looked all through the files in my environment and I haven't yet found anything like what mysymlink should be pointing to. Did another step not complete correctly or am I missing something else? Let me know if this is not enough information to answer the question, and I'll provide whatever I can. Thanks for the help. |

It should pointer to whatever directory your sources ended up in. With gentoo-dev-sources, probably something along the lines of
| Code: | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Aug 24 22:57 linux -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-gentoo-r1

Hello,
If the emerge of gentoo-dev-sources went well then you should have a directory /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-gentoo-r1 (this is the latest, I believe. ) To find out if all went well do and you should see your kernel dir, something like: | Code: | total 2
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 1248 Aug 22 14:30 linux-2.6.8.1-nitro1
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 664 Aug 17 19:07 linux-2.6.8-gentoo |
(I'm currently trying out a couple of kernels, that's why there's two kernel directories.) If you don't see something like this then something went wrong in the emerge and you should probably try emerging gentoo-dev-sources again. Otherwise, note the name of the kernel dir and do | Code: | cd /usr/src
ln -sf <insert your kernel dir here> linux |
and all should be well.
Good luck,
Jay |

That is what I was thought need to be done, but there must have been a problem with the emerge because the only thing in my /usr/src directory is a linux directory with nothing in it. Originally when I ran emerge gentoo-dev-sources I had unplugged my network connection so I could do other things on another computer, but turns out that it needed the network connection and came back with some errors. I then plugged the network cable back in and re-ran emerge gentoo-dev-sources and it ran successfully. After that is when I tried to create the symlink without success.
Since there isn't anythink like what you are showing needs to be in my /usr/src directory, I'll re-run the emerge gentoo-dev-sources again and see if that creates the needed files. Hope it works correctly this second time.

I re-ran the command:
| Code: | #emerge gentoo-dev-sources
>>> emerge (1 of 32) dev-java/java-sdk-docs-1.4.1 to /
!!! j2sdk-1_4_1-doc.zip not found in /usr/portage/distfiles.
!!! dev-java/java-sdk-docs-1.4.1 has fetch restriction turned on.
!!! This probably means that this ebuild's files must be downloaded
!!! manually. See the comments in the ebuild for more information.
* Please download j2sdk-1_4_1-doc.zip from (link to location) and move it to /usr/portage/distfiles |
Here's what my /usr/src directory looks like at the moment for some reason:
| Code: | #ls -l /usr/src
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 23 17:12 linux
#ls -l /usr/src/linux
total 0 |
The only reason that linux directory is there is because I created it myself.
I'm under the impression that emerge gentoo-dev-sources would put some necessary files in the /usr/src directory, but I've ran that command four times now and it isn't working out that way. Any ideas are welcome.

Your emerge command tries to install 32 packages!
Could you please post the result of
| Code: | | emerge -pv gentoo-dev-sources |
and |

I'll get this posted sometime this evening. I also wanted to add that my command lines currently look like this:
Meaning that I'm in the livecd environment I take it? Just so all the info is posted... I'll be back later tonight.

| You didn't forget about emerging system at some point, did you? |

looks like your emerge of the sources failed because you need to download java manually to your /usr/portage/distfiles in order to emerge it
So download it then rerun your emerge command

Ok I see... I didn't know that I had to take care of this problem before it completed the rest of the process. Thanks for your help.
