hello,

please excuse me for repeating question but I'm still having problems
with KBUILD_OUTPUT...

.... I'm trying to merge qc-usb package in order to use quickcam

### CODE 1 ###
askar@athena ~/KBUILD_OUTPUT/linux-2.6.12-suspend2-r4 $ sudo emerge
qc-usb

* Could not find a usable .config in the kernel source directory.
* Please ensure that /usr/src/linux points to a configured set of
Linux sources.
* If you are using KBUILD_OUTPUT, please set the environment var so
that
* it points to the necessary object directory so that it might find
..config.

and this seems to be normal, so I just try to emerge as superuser

### CODE 2 ###

and the last is followed by tons of error notifications. The same
problem raises when I try to emerge latest ipw2200 too, even if the
previous does not create any problem.

the fact is that the file /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h is not
there but under KBUILD_OUTPUT location, so it seems that ebuild does
not recognize correctly KBUILD_OUTPUT directory even if reports as
correct one.
