Reconfigure your kernel and enable inotify under file systems. (Also, recompile your kernel and reboot)

that's the funny thing - i have enabled inotify in my kernel:

here is (part of) my /usr/src/linux/.config:
Code:
cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep INOTIFY
CONFIG_INOTIFY=y
CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER=y

Are you sure you are running the proper kernel
where inotify was enabled?

i had the same problem with hal-0.5.9-r1 (i am on ~amd64) , and downgrading to 0.5.7.1-r3 (which at this time is the current 'stable' release in portage) solved it.

I did have the same problem:
Code:
hald --verbose=yes --daemon=no
...
*** [DIE] osspec.c:watch_fdi_files():349 : Unable to initialize inotify: Function not implemented

I did some research on that, and I noticed that I had upgradet linux-headers without recompiling glibc. So a simple
Code:
emerge --oneshot glibc hal
did solve the problem, and now hal-0.5.9-r1 works (on an amd64 system)
