 |
|
| Hi, I have a question. For example I try to compile nvidia kernels and they download kernel 2.6.0-test4. Currently I use 2.4.22. I once tried to compile under 2.6.0 and since then it always has it as a dependancy. I also have the same problem with some other programs. For instance lirc is emerged when i unemerged it a long time ago. How do I fix this? |

My guess would be that it is a header thing. You might want to check the symlink /usr/src/linux, which should refer to your 2.4.22 kernel. Another thing you should check is the version of kernel-headers that you have installed, for 2.4.22 it should be some 2.4.x (2.4.19 or higher), not a 2.5.x or 2.6.x version.
Generally you seem to have some unsatisfied dependancies. If you run 'emerge -puvD world' , you will probably see that some "unwanted" packages will be installed. This depends on both the packages in your world file and your USE variable setting. |

don't emerge -e world unless you need to ... "-e" emerges ALL the packages that are installed, even those that are not in the world file.
but i don't see what's that got to do with your actual question. 
why don't you just
| Code: | | emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx |
instead?!? ...it works like that, you know[/code]

Okay. You have two problem files here. Check out:
| Code: | /var/cache/edb/world
/var/cache/edb/virtuals |
Editing the two of these must be done as root. You will probably find "sys-kernel/development-sources" or "sys-kernel/mm-sources" listed in world - this should be removed. You will also find it in virtuals - you want to remove any instances of this and replace it with "sys-kernel/vanilla-sources" which is what I assume you're using now. This is due to the (understandably) buggy way that portage handles its world file when dealing with kernels.
Also, if you emerge "gentoolkit" and then do "qpkg --help" you should find out how to work out what packages depend on lirc. emerge --depclean could be your friend here too. Let us know how you get on! (Alternatively, you can PM me if you want - either is fine.) |

I can't believe it! As of today I'm experiencing almost the same problem.  |

| You could also try running "revdep-rebuild" as root - this will recompile any packages with broken dependencies and should generally fix things for you. |
