Hi,

there are a few threads around concerning nvidia problems, but none are quite the same as mine:

I have used the following:
Code:
nickdesk log # eselect opengl set nvidia
Switching to nvidia OpenGL interface... done


Everything worked fine until today when I did a bunch of updates including the latest stable kernel gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r7, and the latest nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx. I have an amd64 system.

I have tried re-emerging xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6, and that doesn't help.

According to ldconfig -p, libGL.so.1 does exist:
Code:
libGL.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/lib32/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so.1

and the nvidia module is loaded:
Code:
nickdesk log # lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
nvidia               4851152  8
snd_pcm_oss            49952  0

Any suggestions anyone?

I upgraded to nvidia-glx-1.0.8178-r1 yesterday. Before then, all was well. Now things are broken. Xorg log says "(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module". Same as bendy's. Although my glxinfo says "Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual". Nothing about libGL.

nvidia-glx-1.0.8178-r1 changed the path to where the module is installed. It is now installed to: /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/extensions/libglx.so

Can you please post your xorg.conf so I can see if there is a path problem?

Also, please give the output of this:

equery files nvidia-glx | grep libglx.so

There were problems caused by incompatibility with some versions of eselect, which didn't create the required symlinks.
Try downgrading your eselect to previous stable, or perhaps upgrading to a test version and see if that helps.
Or you can locate the missing library and manually symlink it to a directory in your library path.

The emerged nvidia drivers ARE the ones from nvidia, they simply plugged it into emerge and separated it into a section for GLX and the kernel driver.

That said, I would try re-compiling the kernel and then re-emerging nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx, especially if one of those updates was the recent gcc update.

Just re-sync and re emerge nvidia-glx, then you might have to do an "eselect opengl set nvidia" since whatever changed or broke seems to have selected xorg-x11 as the opengl component even when emerging nvidia-glx. I noticed this yesterday and the bug I found mentions this issue but says the revision fixes it but I guess it broke it first. :?

Having the same issue. Re-emerging nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel made no difference.

Is there a fix for this?

*EDIT*

Bah, I'll just degrade for a few revisions.

*EDIT*

Rolling back drivers helps nothing.

After re-emerging I had to do
Code:
eselect opengl set nvidia
manually to fix the problem ...

When I try that it complains about sed not existing. Sed is installed on my computer...but not in /usr/bin/sed. Then it complains about failing to create /usr/lib32/libGL.la.

Trying to start mythtv (backend or frontend) results in the error about libGL not existing.

...nevermind.

I just symlinked /bin/sed to /usr/bin/sed and redid the eselect line, works fine now. No clue as to why it was looking in a different place for sed...

That didn't fix it either.

*EDIT*

I did a few command lines to show what I have set and to make sure I'm doing this right:

I have re-emerged nvidia-glx (and nvidia-kernel) and used eselect, and I still have the problem. Is this an amd64 problem only? What archs are people running? Are the paths installed correctly for a 64 bit system?

It may be, I'm running AMD64 myself, perhaps eselect doesn't recognize an AMD64 arch?

I'll start a thread in the AMD64 section.

*EDIT*

Go here.

*EDIT*

Fix for AMD64 users is there.

I am using the official nvidia installer from their web page on an athlon xp system and I am also getting this error.
Code:
oczer@odin ~ $ glxgears
glxgears: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I recently did a "emerge world deep" update on my system, but glx worked up till then. BTW, whats eselect?

update:
I emerged eselect and tried doing
Code:
odin oczer # eselect opengl set nvidia
!!! Error: Can't load module opengl
exiting.

As you can see, it did not help much.

Why is it the simple answers never come to me on my own?
Thanks Ian lol
