Bug 141749 – nvidia-kernel-1.0.8762-r1 fails to compile on gentoo-sources-2.6.17-r4

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Hanly 2006-07-25 19:40:47 UTC]

nvidia-kernel emerged without errors when installed alongside Xorg-7.0, I installed xgl following the steps listed in the xgl howto found in the gentoo-wiki, and when I went to recompile nvidia-kernel as per the instructions I get the following error: (see attatched file for full output)

Has exactly zero in common with Gentoo Bugzilla product. Why don't you read the descriptions? 

You need a _configured_ kernel (run make modules_prepare at least).
