emerge nss fails

I keep getting the same error over and over, no matter which version I try to emerge, I really have no idea what the problem is. I searched these forums for anybody else having the same problem, didn't find it. I searched google forums for similar problems, couldn't come up with anything, so here is this post as a last resort.

heres my emerge --info nss output-

And here is the entire emerge nss output-

Its probably a simple problem, but here I am...

edit the ebuild: /usr/portage/dev-libs/nss/nss-3.8.ebuild
and under the lines:
# Fix for Linux 2.6
cp Linux2.5.mk Linux2.6.mk

write one copy line for your kernel version ('Linux2.4.26.2004.08') like this:
cp Linux2.5.mk Linux2.4.26.2004.08.mk

emerge nss must work now.

Thank you!

That seemed to do the trick nicely!

thank you. I did fix one broken ebuild. It did give that same error on kernel 2.6.8

How do you find out the specific version of your kernel?

And I don't even seem to have a coreconf folder but mine is looking for it...

Look at the error message, it complains about Linux<version>.mk. Post it if you are unsure.

Thank you much. I was also having this problem using kernel 2.6.8.1 It was bugging the heck out of me. :)

Thanks, I am new to Gentoo so this was causing me a problem. Once I followed your instructions properly everything worked.

I don't know why this is giving me such trouble --

It complains about Linux2.6.8.mk, so try that instead of 2.6.8.1.mk.

Thanks for the quick reply.

For anyone else that has this problem what I had to do was open /usr/portage/dev-libs/nss/nss-3.8.ebuild and change the line under the comment 'Fix for Linux 2.6' to read 'cp Linux2.5.mk 2.6.8.mk'

what is the command to open open /usr/portage/dev-libs/nss/nss-3.8.ebuild ?

nevermind

yea, that worked like a charm
