I have a problem with kernel. Look at this:
root@eleanorunicorne eleanor # emerge nvidia-glx
Calculating dependencies ...done!

I recently deleated all what was in /usr/src/* . And I compiled a new kernel to /usr/src/kernel-2.6.10. I think I must to create a link to /usr/src/linux, but I don't know how, do anybody know? |

use:
ln -s /usr/src/kernel-2.6.10 /usr/src/linux
Should work. I am writing this on my wife's non linux computer, as mine is in the throws of a emerge --emptytree and has been for a few days now so I can't confirm the above directly.
Rgds.,

ln -s /usr/src/(whatever sources you are using) linux
then check with ls -l |
