I just emerged gentoo-dev-sources and tried to do a 'make mrproper':
% make mrproper
awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: cannot open file `/usr/src/linux-2.6.9-gentoo-r1/include/linux/version.h' for reading (No such file or directory
2.6.9 from kernel.org is fine. I couldn't find anything about this in google or gentoo forums.
Thanks! |

| do you have enough disk space? `df /usr/src`? you should also try to re-sync & emerge again. |

freelunch,
That file is created after your configure the kernel.
Have you done that yet ?
Make mrproper is a bit drastic, it wipes out all the config stuff as well as doing a make clean.

mrproper is the first step in building a new kernel source tree. It creates the approriate links, etc, for the hardware you are running on.
Only then should you import your previous kernel configs and config the kernel.
Some docs suggest you can sometimes skip 'mrproper'. Years ago I lost hours of time because I didn't follow that step. I know others who have had similar problems when they omitted it. So I don't skip it.
It works fine under 2.6.9. I tried re-emerging but it still failed. |

freelunch,
The kernel make changed in 2.6
The steps are configure (choose one from make config, make menuconfig, make gconfig or make xconfig)
make (now make bzImage and modules)
make modules_install
Copy bziminage.
In 2.4 it was make dep that fixed the links. Thtas no longer required, nor is the seperate make modules step if you are building the bzImage too. make modules is still there for when you want to add a module.
Have a read of
| Code: | make help
Cleaning targets:
clean - remove most generated files but keep the config
mrproper - remove all generated files + config + various backup files |
there is more
