 |

I want to get the tarball from the ebuild and manually compile it.
Is this possible?
Cheers,
Ryan |

| Code: |
emerge --fetchonly package
|
Your soure tarball is now in /usr/portage/distfiles. You might want to add --oneshot to that to keep it from being added to your favourites list. |

But then one has to ask the question, why?

From the Gentoo FAQ:
| Quote: | I want to perform the ./configure step myself. Can I?
Yes, but it is not trivial. First do man ebuild followed by ebuild foo-x.y.z.ebuild unpack. Then cd to /var/tmp/portage/foo-x.y.z/work. You can manually perform the ./configure and make steps yourself (you'll have to do both, since Portage does not separate the configure and build steps). To have Portage finish the installation (so that you can easily remove it later, should you desire to do so, and it will be registered in Portage as a possible dependency) you first need to touch /var/tmp/portage/foo-x.y.z/.compiled (tricking Portage into thinking that ebuild foo-x.y.z.ebuild compile has completed), followed by ebuild foo-x.y.z.ebuild merge. |

It is. With one key difference: you can tell ./configure whatever you need to. Thus, it acts like downloading and compiling that piece of software, except with dependency checking and all kinds of other nifty stuff. |

So do you think that manually compiling using the nVidia instructions will fix my problem (as outlined in the above links?)
Thanks.
Ryan
PS, several hours will pass before I can try, as I'm at work. |

results
| Code: | | >>> emerge media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.2880 to / |
I don't know where the file was downloaded to.
It ISN'T in /usr/portage/distfies as indicated above.
Any idea?
Thanks.

I installed lynx and downloaded the tars and manually compiled them.
Followed the instructions perfectly.
Even tried the "make SYSINCLUDE=/usr/src/linux/kernel/include" version
Still doesn't work.
Gives exactly the same error.
