Searching for cross* on the whole file-system turns nothing up either, so I suppose I should just be thankful that the problem's gone away (pro tem, at least). I do notice though that I have a new file: /etc/portage/categories, which contains "cross-i686-pc-linux-gnu". (Well, it has a January date, so it isn't new - I just hadn't noticed it before.) And the only linux-headers I have are the standard kernel headers - nothing to do with cross-compiling. > For me, installing crossdev with -s1 helped, I don't know what you mean there. > I'm only compiling for an embedded system anyway so I don't need the > headers. Maybe just try again after an rsync? I run emerge --sync most days, so I wasn't incurring penalties by running an out-of-date system. Thanks for the help anyway. -- Rgds Peter
