    emerge kde problem



    I installed Vidalinux the othe day. I typed "emerge kde"
    everything goes fine until I get to svgalibs. I get this error

    !!! ERROR: media-libs/svgalib-1.9.19-r1 failed.
    !!! Function kernel-mod_configoption_builtin, Line 114, Exitcode 1
    !!! kernel has not been configured yet

    It says kernel is not configured yet. Configured for what, i already use Gnome, so i have X. I have my desktop set at 1024x768.
    So I am not sure how to proceed.

    Your help is appreciated.

    could you include some more output... and how did you install your kernel... how did you even get portage on that?

    Hi all,

    I have the same problem with svgalib. If I try to emerge something that depends on svgalib, I get an error as well. I found a solution on the VidaLinux forums, which you can see here (http://forums.vidalinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=2799). I hope that works because I would like to solve this problem as well.

    smindinvern: VidaLinux is Gentoo based...apparently after the original install, it is 99% Gentoo and after an update, it is 100% Gentoo. VidaLinux is nice because it is Gentoo that is installed using the Anaconda installer.

    Hope that helps,
    Bryan

    Well, it looks like after reading that post, I need to update the kernel to 2.6.11. I am currently using 2.6.9. And then there are more instructions.
