When xdriinfo is emerged it fails with this: checking for XDRIINFO... yes checking for library containing glXGetProcAddress... no configure: error: cannot find GL library - make sure Mesa or other OpenGL package is installed See `config.log' for more details. !!! Please attach the following file when filing a report to bugs.gentoo.org: !!! /var/tmp/portage/xdriinfo-1.0.0/work/xdriinfo-1.0.0/config.log !!! ERROR: x11-apps/xdriinfo-1.0.0 failed.

That doesn't surprise me. nVidia's GL implementation is missing some stuff, but that will hopefully change in the future. Until then, I don't think we can do anything about it...maybe add an error+die or something.
Check out xdriinfo CVS, the xdriinfo code used to use a GLX 1.4 feature before the actual spec was ratified (which it is now, fwiw, but nvidia doesn't yet support it).
Yes, adding some kind of informational text would be nice when the ebuild fails, so users can know what the reason is.
Really we just need a fix, not information on why it broke.
Fixed in xdriinfo-1.0.0-r1, thanks.
Thanks!
