"yes" configure: error: You have built-in ALSA in your kernel. !!! Please attach the config.log to your bug report: !!! /var/tmp/portage/alsa-driver-1.0.9b/work/alsa-driver-1.0.9b/config.log !!! ERROR: media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.9b failed. !!! Function econf, Line 485, Exitcode 0 !!! econf failed !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. I skipped some of the less seemingly pertinent bits, my kernel is currently 2.6.11.5 and ALSA is built into it whereas when I first installed Gentoo [~6 months ago] I used genkernel which IIRC built ALSA as modules which I think has led me to the above error. I checked the changelog and this package media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.9b was last made x86 in febuary which may have been before I installed gentoo hence I think why my world is trying to install it even though I do not require it. Could someone confirm [or guide anyway ] for me that my "guess" is right and that I will be safe to remove the package. Alternatively I have got completly the wrong end of the stick and I am about to kill my system :) in which case a big NO!! dont do it will suffice . thanks stu -- "There are 10 types of people in this world: those who understand binary, those who don't" --Unknown -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
