 Posted: Tue Jun 13, 2006 7:34 pm Post subject: the latest version of nvidia-glx won't compile [solved] |
 |
|
I recently tried to do a emerge -vauD world, but it stopped when it got to nvidia-glx. I have an entry in package.keywords for it: | Code: | | media-vidio/nvidia-glx ~x86 |
and my current version is 1.0.8756. The output from the emerge is here
If anyone knows how to fix this, that would be great. But as a temporary solution, to finish updating my system, is there a way to unmask a specific version? Or is there just some other way to tell portage that I want to keep the version I have? Thanks.

| Did you just change kernel versions recently or clean out your source directory? If so, try rebooting with the new kernel once you build it, or change the /usr/src/linux symlink to match your running kernel and try again. |

I just ignored this problem for a while, and didn't update nvidia. However, now that I updated to modular X, I need to remerge nvidia, but this problem is still sticking around.
I tried changing my /usr/src/linux symlink to the most recent version in /usr/src:
| Code: | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Apr 20 16:24 linux -> linux-2.6.15-gentoo-r1
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 800 May 7 14:03 linux-2.6.15-gentoo-r1
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 768 Jul 10 20:58 linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r12
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 776 Apr 24 12:05 linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r3
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 744 May 4 01:50 linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r6
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 744 May 14 20:16 linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r7
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 744 Jun 13 14:28 linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r9 |
but now I get the following error message when compiling nvidia-kernel:
| Code: | Building modules, stage 2.
make -rR -f /usr/src/linux-2.6.15-gentoo-r1/scripts/Makefile.modpost
scripts/mod/modpost -m -i /usr/src/linux-2.6.15-gentoo-r1/Module.symvers /var/tmp/portage/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8762-r1/work/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8762-pkg1/usr/src/nv/nvidia.o

I have problems with several nvidia-kernel-versions as well. The strange thing is sometimes i manage to compile them by repeating emerging without changing anything. Sometimes compiling stops. Sometimes i get one or two warningmessages, installation finishes but modprobing the nvidia-module fails and sometimes it compiles,installs and loads flawless. However, since trying to reemerge it for 10 and more times started to annoy me i chose to switch back to an older version, which emerges flawless for me at once. So you might try to mask several nvidia-kernel-versions after trying to emerge them:
| Code: | | emerge nvidia-kernel |
if it fails then, memorize the kernel-version and write the following with the nvidia-kernel-version that did not work, for example:
| Code: | | echo "=media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8762-r1" >> /etc/portage/package.mask |
or edit /etc/portage/package.mask manually by using | Code: | | nano -w /etc/portage/package.mask |
and insert the full nvidia-kernel-packagename there (for example "=media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8762-r1")
Repeat these steps until you manage to successfully emerge the nvidia-kernel. After that you have to pick the same version of nvidia-glx and emerge that.
For example i managed to emerge "media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7676-r1" and so i had to emerge "media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7676-r3" (the release can differ, but the mainversion like '1.0.7676' has to be the same). In order to get the right nvidia-glx-version you have to mask all newer versions in /etc/portage/package.mask just as you did with nvidia-kernel. My package.mask looked in the end like this:
| Code: |
=media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8762-r1
=media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8762
=media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8756-r1
=media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8756
=media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8178-r4
=media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8178-r3
=media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8174-r2
=media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8174-r1
=media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.8762
=media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.8756
=media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.8178-r1
=media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.8174-r2

And about changing your symlink: You should not change the symlink without compiling and installing the kernel as well as making the new kernel boot in grub.conf. So better do the following in order to be sure that the symlink is properly set:
Check the kernelversion you are running by executing
After that better delete the current symlink in case it differs ('rm /usr/src/linux)' and create a new one pointing at the gentoo-kernel which you are using
| Code: | | ln -s /usr/src/<kerneversion that uname mentioned> linux |
After that you might search for a HOWTO about upgrading your linux-kernel as long as you are not running the newest version. =)
Maybe this one helps: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kernel-upgrade.xml |

| I solved this, and the problem was embarrasingly noob-ish. Basically, I had seen that emerge was updating the kernel sources, so I assumed that meant it was updating the kernel. However, I followed some guides for updating hte kernel to the latest version, as well as updating gcc (I had missed some steps, and just let emerge take care of it). Anyhow, whatever I did, it worked fine now. |
