Description wilhelm hagg 2004-03-17 14:53:09 UTC
Small issue known by nvidia, but gimp for example does not compile.

Is that worth to provide a gentoo patch or is it up to nvidia's next version ?

X. Known issues with release 1.0-5328
-------------------------------------
People report that using libtool with release 1.0-5328 fails with:

"libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libGL.la' is not a valid libtool archive"

nvidia comments on this:

This is a problem with the libGL.la generated by the nvidia-installer. Please edit /usr/lib/libGL.la, and replace the line:

# Generated by nvidia-installer: 1.0.5

with

# Generated by nvidia-installer: 1.0.5 (for use by libtool)

libtool greps for "^# Generated by .*libtool" before using .la files.

This will be fixed in the next driver release. I apologize for the inconvenience.

considering 5336 is in portage and both 5328 and 5336 are ~x86, how could you get 5328 on your system ?

Sorry for the confusion,

actually i have installed 5336-r1 which is the current ~x86. The 1.0-5328 i found when i googled the web for the bug. Fixing the bug did the job for me, so i guess it applies also to 5336-r1. 

However, i'm not 100 % sure, since i played around a bit with different versions of the Nvidia driver.

Regards, Wilhelm

andrew@asteroid andrew $ cat /usr/lib/libGL.la |grep libtool
# libGL.la - a libtool library file
# Generated by ltmain.sh - GNU libtool 1.4 (1.920 2001/04/24 23:26:18)

All of the ebuilds in portage supply our own libGL.la which is adapted from nvidia  one, these do not have the problem, only libGL.la installed by nvidia-installer do... 

Please use the ebuild to install and REOPEN if this is still a problem
