Any idea how to emerge ax25-tools? Here is what I get:

What was your original emerge command? And tell us more about what you're trying to do.

Standard stuff emerges, or it wouldn't be standard. Why? Because it wouldn't get into normal portage.

I edited my previous posting to show the emerge command

Two things, first, I'd emerge as root, not su or sudo. su and sudo are NOT the same as root. emerging as root may clear your problem.

Second, the emerge isn't seeing the symlink to your kernel sources:

ls -l /usr/src

You should see a file called linux that points to a longer linux name, that has the word gentoo in it. If it isn't there, then:

ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.11-gentoo-rc9 /usr/src/linux

Put in the proper linux-2.x.x... name. bash's autocompletion is helpful, hit <TAB> once you've entered the first part of the name.

Yeah, but your first post's error report complains that the link isn't there. Huh? I see it in your ls -l. Try:

ln -lf /usr/src/linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r11 /usr/src/linux

This will reset the link, which will help if that is the problem.

I tried recreating the symlink, without using a hard link, with the same result.

dweeks@david01 ~ $ ls -l /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 136 Jun 7 23:05 /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h
dweeks@david01 ~ $

It's there. I noticed that your error is looking for: //usr/src/.... Uh, looks like a bad build/packaging. //usr doesn't exist.

I think that is it; there's a legitimate bug.

Typically double slashes are not problematic. The *real* problem is that there is no file called version.h there.

I agree, it looks like a bug.

Look for it in your earlier rc's. I'm guessing those have it, and rc11 doesn't.

It's true, slightly older sources have the file:

Good luck. I'm glad we got to it.
