as I keep trying things I recieved this error durring emerge. Not sure what it means. By notusing the kernel's ability to output to an alternative directory, some external module builds may fail. I'd guess you compiled your kernel with a different version of gcc than the nvidia kernel module. Run `dmesg | head -n 1` please, then compare that with `emerge -V`. You are right they are two different versions. SHould I just recompile the kernel? I am sorry for not figuring this out. I am new to linux so a lot of this is new to me Recompile nvidia-kernel with the gcc version you compiled your kernel with or Recompile your kernel with the gcc version you compiled nvidia-kernel with The last line in dmesg after modprobe nvidia should tell you which versions are mismatched... gcc-config is a nice tool you might want to look at aswell. PEBKAC i recompiled the kernel. Yes the problem was with me. I didnt know that they had to have the gcc version. Again I am new and just learning |
