Description Oliver Freyermuth 2014-11-14 22:04:35 UTC 
/opt/bin/nvidia-settings gives the following output: 

ERROR: libnvidia-gtk3.so.346.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
       libnvidia-gtk3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
       libnvidia-gtk2.so.346.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
       libnvidia-gtk2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


ERROR: A problem occured when loading the GUI library. Please check your installation and library path. You may need to specify
       this library when calling nvidia-settings. Please run `/opt/bin/nvidia-settings --help` for usage information.


It seems that libnvidia-gtk2 / libnvidia-gtk3 (which are new with this release) are not installed by the ebuild. 

Latest media-video/nvidia-settings still works fine, though, but of course is slightly outdated compared to this driver. 

Reproducible: Always
