Bug 297271 – x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-190.53 fails to install libvdpau_nvidia.so

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Denis 2009-12-17 08:47:04 UTC]

After upgrading to nvidia-drivers-190.53, libvdpau_nvidia.so was removed and vdpauinfo produces:
# vdpauinfo 
display: :0.0   screen: 0
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Error creating VDPAU device: 1

along with mplayer, that also tries to use the vdpau driver.
Downgrading to ver 190.42-r3 solves the problem.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Upgrade to x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-190.53

(Local bump I presume ? Same issue here).

According to upstream Changelog [1], structure of workdir has changed.
One can use a simple patch to make ebuild install and merge libvdpau_nvidia.so.* again, but their might be a need of more work on ebuild side.
