Well this is caused by the select_makefile function in usr/src/nv/conftest.sh The most likely reason is that you dont actually have a built kernel source, but your emerge info says you are running the kernel that is detected. Did you clean your kernel source after build/install? If you have your sources built then try this cd /usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-kernel/ ebuild nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r1.ebuild clean unpack (Get this patch http://dev.gentoo.org/~cyfred/tmp/conftest.patch) cd /var/tmp/portage/nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r1/work/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1/usr/src/nv/ patch -Np0 < /path/to/patch cd /usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-kernel/ ebuild nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r1.ebuild merge You should get one extra line in the error message, can you paste that line.
I didn't do a make clean after I build my kernel. The extra message I get is this one: select_makefile failed with RET=1 post this value
Are you using koutput? Make sure you have no KBUILD* environment variables set if you arent. If you are not using kouput/kbuild then this has to be something to do with either your gcc path, gcc executable or CFLAGS... Your cflags : CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" my cflags : CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" It works for me with gcc-3.4.3 so maybe try -march=pentium3 ... not really sure.
I have never used koutput (not as far as I know), so I don't think that's the problem. I have this problem for gcc-3.3.4 and gcc-3.4.3 I have tried to emerge with empty CFLAGS, but the problem stays. I find it hard to believe that this is caused by gcc, ... since it occurs for both 3.3.4 and 3.4.3. I did however had a problem with gcc that emerged all my executables with i686-pc-gnu-linux in front of them with gcc-3.4.3, but that problem is fixed and didn't occur with 3.3.4.
The problem seems to be the kernel. I can compile everything fine with kernel-2.6.9-r9 but it fails with 2.6.9-r13. I did a make mrproper and recompiled everything from scratch, to no avail. That counts for both 1.0.6111-r3 and 1.0.6629-r1. The version of gcc has nothing to do with it.
Hmm... Well personally if it only happens with r13 and since there are 2.6.10 and other 2.6.9 kernels available im not going to worry about it ... If you have a reason that you MUST use 2.6.9-gentoo-r13 then reopen this.
I tried gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.10-r2 and it still gives me the same error. I have reapplied the patch, and the message is the same.
Somewhere im pretty sure I saw johnm talk about gentoo-dev-sources being a little bit wrong or difficult for linux-* eclasses, can you try a different kernel source?
I fetched the sources from kernel.org en tried it. Same thing. The strange thing is I cannot compile them anymore with the kernel I compiled them the lat time successfully. There must have changed something on my system that causes this. If only I would know what.
It doesn't work here either. I don't have portage info in hands, but I'd like to add that both 6111 and 6629 gives me that error message. Kernel 2.6.10-r4. I'm going to downgrade it to 2.6.9.
Nevermind. I just noticed that nvidia-kernel didn't compile because i didn't have a cc link to gcc.
I have tried to install the nvidia driver without the ebuild, and what I get is permission denied: # sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run Verifying archive integrity... OK Uncompressing NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86 1.0-6629......................................................................................................................................................................................................... NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run: line 754: ./nvidia-installer: Permission denied Maybe this has something to do with it, or is this another thing? I am right know recompiling my entire system, to see if that helps. Maybe adding that I also have problems with kde apps crashing all the time, which made me switch to gnome for the moment.
Having recompiled my entire system, the problem persists. It seems to me that this problem is related to the kernel and not to nvidia-kernel.

Do you ever come on IRC? if so, can you come to freenode, channel #gentoo-dev and msg me. (johnm)
We fixed it by removing all linux folders in /usr/src: rm -Rf /usr/src/linux* and reemerging gentoo-dev-sources. So closing this bug.
