 |
|
Hi,
I have updated to kernel 2.6.7 (from 2.6.1), but am having trouble getting anything to compile. I think the headers are broken, but I am not quite sure.
I have the following kernel emerged:
| Code: | * sys-kernel/development-sources
Latest version available: 2.6.8.1
Latest version installed: 2.6.7
Size of downloaded files: 34,793 kB
Homepage: http://www.kernel.org/
Description: Full sources for the vanilla 2.6 kernel tree
License: GPL-2
|
and the following headers:
| Code: | * sys-kernel/linux26-headers
Latest version available: 2.6.8.1
Latest version installed: 2.6.7-r4
Size of downloaded files: 34,793 kB
Homepage: http://www.kernel.org/ http://www.gentoo.org/
Description: Linux 2.6.8.1 headers from kernel.org
License: GPL-2

trying to
results in

I did once read that your glibc version won't support linux26-headers correctly - not sure about that. Anyway, I have linux26-headers-2.6.8.1-r1 and glibc-2.3.4 installed and it works flawlessly.

elektrohirn,
Allow me to break in. I have 2.6.8.r6 installed but I still use the 'linux-headers' which are reputed to redirect to the linux26-headers.
How did you come to the linux26-headers? Do I have to uninstall the linux-headers first and then emerge the linux26-headers or will an emerge-upgrade do the trick?
Thank you,
malv |

I think (not sure though) that linux-headers block linux26-headers, so what I did was:
unmerge linux-headers
emerge linux26-headers
remerge glibc as advised by the linux26-headers ebuild
This works fine for me, though I don't see any difference/improvements, but I generally like to be p-to-date
