build.log

Building the newest version of the nvidia binary drivers fails due to a missing libelf.so.1 when elfutils is not installed. Manually installing elfutils allows the package to build without errors.

Jer,

I just saw you assigned it to us after I assigned it to you.  This is an out of kernel driver.  Can you tell me why you think it should be supported in the kernel ebuild?

Comment 4 email200202 2018-02-07 13:58:31 UTC

Building virtualbox-guest-additions-5.2.6 failed because of missing libelf.so.0 which is provided by dev-libs/libelf. 

There two problems:

(1) virtualbox-guest-additions should depend on dev-libs/libelf.

(2) dev-libs/libelf blocks dev-libs/elfutils and virtual/libelf.
