[solved]enable a kernel option

I am installing gnome now,but when comes to the package 'hal',it said that I must emerge pciutils without the USE zlib.
So I use:
USE="-zlib" emerge pciutils
emerge hal

After that,it hint me.

You must enable the Inotify system in your kernel.For theis you need to enable 'Inotify support for userspace' in 'File systems'.It is marked CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER in the config file.

What should I do now?Compiling the kernel again,or something?
Please help me.Thanks a lot.

Yes, you need to enable inotify in your kernel config and rebuild your kernel

After you rebuild your kernel you need to copy the new kernel image to /boot and add an entry for it in your bootloader configuration file.
