When I emerge nvidia-glx (version 1.0.6111 and upper), it will not run the nvidia installer, and instead copy _most_ of the files into the tree. Here is the list: >>> Merging media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.6111 to / --- /usr/ --- /usr/bin/ >>> /usr/bin/nvidia-bug-report.sh --- /usr/lib/ --- /usr/lib/misc/ >>> /usr/lib/misc/tls_test_dso.so >>> /usr/lib/misc/tls_test --- /usr/lib/opengl/ --- /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/ >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/ >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6111 >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so.1.0.6111 >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libnvidia-tls.so -> libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6111 >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.la >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so -> libGL.so.1.0.6111 >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGLcore.so.1.0.6111 >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/tls/ >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6111 >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/tls/libnvidia-tls.so -> libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6111 >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/extensions/ >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/extensions/libglx.so >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/include/ >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/include/glxtokens.h >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/include/gl.h >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/include/glx.h --- /usr/X11R6/ --- /usr/X11R6/lib/ >>> /usr/X11R6/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1.0.6111 --- /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/ --- /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/ >>> /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o >>> /usr/X11R6/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.a --- /usr/share/ --- /usr/share/doc/ --- /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx-1.0.6111/ >>> /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx-1.0.6111/README.gz >>> /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx-1.0.6111/XF86Config.sample.gz >>> /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx-1.0.6111/README.DE.gz >>> /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx-1.0.6111/NVIDIA_Changelog.gz >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.0.6111 >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1 -> libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6111 >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGLcore.so -> libGLcore.so.1.0.6111 >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGLcore.so.1 -> libGLcore.so.1.0.6111 >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1 -> libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6111 >>> Safely unmerging already-installed instance... --- !mtime obj /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx-1.0.6111/XF86Config.sample.gz --- !mtime obj /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx-1.0.6111/README.gz --- !mtime obj /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx-1.0.6111/README.DE.gz --- !mtime obj /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx-1.0.6111/NVIDIA_Changelog.gz --- !mtime obj /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6111 --- !mtime obj /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6111 --- !mtime obj /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGLcore.so.1.0.6111 --- !mtime obj /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so.1.0.6111 --- !mtime obj /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.la --- !mtime obj /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/include/glxtokens.h --- !mtime obj /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/include/glx.h --- !mtime obj /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/include/gl.h --- !mtime obj /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/extensions/libglx.so --- !mtime obj /usr/lib/misc/tls_test_dso.so --- !mtime obj /usr/lib/misc/tls_test --- !mtime obj /usr/bin/nvidia-bug-report.sh --- !mtime obj /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o --- !mtime obj /usr/X11R6/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1.0.6111 --- !mtime obj /usr/X11R6/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.a --- !empty dir /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx-1.0.6111 --- !empty dir /usr/share/doc --- !empty dir /usr/share --- !empty dir /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/tls --- !empty dir /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib --- !empty dir /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/include --- !empty dir /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/extensions --- !empty dir /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia --- !empty dir /usr/lib/opengl --- !empty dir /usr/lib/misc --- !empty dir /usr/lib --- !empty dir /usr/bin --- !empty dir /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers --- !empty dir /usr/X11R6/lib/modules --- !empty dir /usr/X11R6/lib --- !empty dir /usr/X11R6 --- !empty dir /usr --- !targe sym /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1 --- !targe sym /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/tls/libnvidia-tls.so --- !targe sym /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1 --- !targe sym /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libnvidia-tls.so --- !targe sym /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGLcore.so.1 --- !targe sym /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGLcore.so --- !targe sym /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so.1 --- !targe sym /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so >>> original instance of package unmerged safely. However, header files (/usr/include/GL/*) and X drivers aren't copied. X won't load the glx module, claiming it was not found, and applications which depend on opengl won't compile (for example, xscreensaver). I managed to work around this second by manually copying those includes from /var/tmp/portage/....../include/GL to /usr/include/GL, but I couldn't get X to work with glx. Maybe I'll give it another try tomorrow.

It's working right now. Even though when I filed this bug I have called 'opengl-update nvidia', it wouldn't copy (or symlink, whatever) those files. Now I see it's working. Kinda strange, might have been my installation.
Changing the severity... someone ought to at least have a look on this.
It installed them: >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/include/glxtokens.h >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/include/gl.h >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/include/glx.h >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/extensions/ >>> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/extensions/libglx.so >>> /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o Use 'opengl-update nvidia' to switch to the nvidia opengl profile.
