Small issue known by nvidia, but gimp for example does not compile. Is that worth to provide a gentoo patch or is it up to nvidia's next version ? http://opengl.geek.nz/weblog/archives/2004_01.html X. Known issues with release 1.0-5328 ------------------------------------- People report that using libtool with release 1.0-5328 fails with: "libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libGL.la' is not a valid libtool archive" nvidia comments on this: This is a problem with the libGL.la generated by the nvidia-installer. Please edit /usr/lib/libGL.la, and replace the line: # Generated by nvidia-installer: 1.0.5 with # Generated by nvidia-installer: 1.0.5 (for use by libtool) libtool greps for "^# Generated by .*libtool" before using .la files. This will be fixed in the next driver release. I apologize for the inconvenience. Andy Ritger NVIDIA Corporation
considering 5336 is in portage and both 5328 and 5336 are ~x86, how could you get 5328 on your system ?
Sorry for the confusion, actually i have installed 5336-r1 which is the current ~x86. The 1.0-5328 i found when i googled the web for the bug. Fixing the bug did the job for me, so i guess it applies also to 5336-r1. However, i'm not 100 % sure, since i played around a bit with different versions of the Nvidia driver. Regards, Wilhelm * media-video/nvidia-glx Latest version available: 1.0.5336-r1 Latest version installed: 1.0.5336-r1 * media-video/nvidia-kernel Latest version available: 1.0.5336-r1 Latest version installed: 1.0.5336-r1
andrew@asteroid andrew $ cat /usr/lib/libGL.la |grep libtool # libGL.la - a libtool library file # Generated by ltmain.sh - GNU libtool 1.4 (1.920 2001/04/24 23:26:18) All of the ebuilds in portage supply our own libGL.la which is adapted from nvidia one, these do not have the problem, only libGL.la installed by nvidia-installer do... Please use the ebuild to install and REOPEN if this is still a problem
