Have you tried unpacking the source manually? It seems like it's not patching because it can't find the file to patch, because that's not in the proper place (/var/tmp/portage/etc...). Did you use an older livecd for this install, here's my emerge output for nvidia-glx...

It was the lates minimal installcd with lates portage and stage and when i run the nvidia installer no glx is installed too.
I can't extract it because tmp dir is cleand up when starting emerge.
:evil:

Try making the directories manually, it shouldn't overwrite those.

/var/tmp/portage/nvidia-glx-1.0.8762/work is cleand up when i start emerge....
And if i use Nvidia installer glx is not installed either

So the directory structure's there, but it's not unpacking anything. This may be a bit extreme but have you tried removing everything in /var/tmp/portage and /usr/portage and running another emerge --sync?

i deleted everything and tried to replace the nvidia.bin with the one from nvidia... no chance nothing helps :-(

i will try the nvidia-installer once more and check the messeges.

What does ls -ld /var/tmp/portage give?

Huh, the only difference so far is I get is that it's owned by root...
Not that it should make a difference since changing ownership doesn't change my ability to write to that directory.

Nvidia-installer returns no error....

Well, if it's a problem with the system I have no clue. There might be some way to manually have nvidia-glx opengl be recognized (if the nvidia installer worked correctly, which it seems like it did), or you could try sync'ing/downloading the packages from another server if every other package works, it could be that that package on that server is borked, if you haven't already that is.

Hi,

i guess, that the if command in the ebuild goes into the for bsd archives created else arm. so i think that it would help that you add "-x86-fbsd" to your useflags.

Greetings, Oliver

IT WORKS IT WORKS

This is the solution thanks very much.

Just one smal question is still open, why did the original nvidia installer fail too?
