vcgencmd on Gentoo

Anyone get vcgencmd to function on Gentoo? i downloaded the binaries from github specifically the /opt directory when executed is complain of file not found which i am assuming has to do with perhaps the libraries or other dependencies being in the path. Just wanted to check if anyone else has gotten this working before i make an attempt.

I wasn't getting this before, but now I am. I just put on the 3.6.11 kernel. After seeing that vcgencmd no longer worked, I copied over what I got from the git repository. Since then, I'm getting the same error:

Code: Select all

rpi0 ~ # /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd
-su: /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd: No such file or directory
rpi0 ~ # ls -l /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15011 Jan 18 23:17 /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd


Somehow, the raspberrypi-userland install from portage avoids the error and a copy doesn't work. That install doesn't yet have the new stuff to work with the 3.6.11 kernel.

How come ls can find the file if it isn't there? Is the reported error a bug with bad information? If not, wouldn't that make this a filesystem bug?

Any clues? Thanks for any help!

The ebuild actually has git code factored into it. If you just:

Code: Select all

echo 'PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"' >> /etc/make.conf
mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/media-libs
cp -r /usr/portage/media-libs/raspberrypi-userland /usr/local/portage/media-libs
cd /usr/local/portage/media-libs/raspberrypi-userland
cp raspberrypi-userland-0_pre20121024.ebuild raspberrypi-userland-9999.ebuild
ebuild raspberrypi-userland-9999.ebuild digest


You'll have a working ebuild that gets from git, ergo latest userland.

The "no such file or directory" errors are probably from dependencies, check ldd /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd

Thanks! Setting up the ebuild to get the latest version fixed the issue. Before I did that, I tried ldd to see what the problem was, but it told me that /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd didn't exist. ls could still find it. Must be an error message that isn't for the actual problem; an error message that is itself an error.
