Bug 79796 – nvidia-glx 1.0.6111 doesn't install headers and X driver

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Bruno Lustosa 2005-01-27 18:40:26 UTC]

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:

>>> 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.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge nvidia-kernel
2. emerge nvidia-glx
3. no header/X driver

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.

[Comment 2 Bruno Lustosa 2005-02-01 13:29:09 UTC]

Changing the severity... someone ought to at least have a look on this.

[Comment 3 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2005-02-11 11:15:13 UTC]

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.
