hal-cvs error
When I try to emerge hal-cvs, it fails. This is the output:

checking for doxygen... no
checking whether to build Doxygen documentation... yes
checking for BLKGETSIZE64... no
configure: error: BLKGETSIZE64 is not defined

!!! ERROR: sys-apps/hal-cvs-0.3-r2 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 43, Exitcode 1
!!! (no error message)


I have no idea what the BLKGETSIZE64 is all about and google was no help
really. Any help please?

TIA,
Chris

Nevermind this, I was following an old guide and there is a release of
hal in portage now, I will try that.
