ntfs3g build error<maybe solved>

[redwing26]

Hiya , I am going through some ntfs3g docs and all they say is that I must disable filesystem in userspace support , this I have done but when I try to emerge as per docs heres what happens

localhost linux # emerge -av sys-fs/ntfs3g

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] sys-fs/fuse-2.7.0 0 kB
[ebuild N ] sys-fs/ntfs3g-1.810 USE="-suid" 569 kB

Total: 2 packages (2 new), Size of downloads: 569 kB

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] y

Any idea where I can get good docs which explain exactly what I need compiled in my kernel?

Thanks again

Ow one other thing and im not sure if this has any relevance but Im using gentoo sources and compile my kernel with

genkernel --dmraid --menuconfig all

and ls -l /usr/src/linux gives lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Dec 6 05:45 linux -> linux-2.6.23-gentoo-r3

Ok I hope this will be of use to someone but the following page

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_NTFS_write_with_ntfs-3g

tells you to disable filesystem in userspace support but I did the opposite as doing it that way wasnt working and now the portage packages install . Im rusty in regards to linux at this time so Im unsure if what I have done is the correct thing but only time will tell

Yes, the kernel version of FUSE needs to be disabled in order to merge ntfs-3g because it pulls in sys-fs/fuse.

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Kernel & Hardware.
Not about getting gentoo installed, so moved here.
