Problem with emerging nvidia-kernel

[DanielW]

Hi,

i have problems with emerging the nvidia-kernel.

I was using a 2.5.70 because of some problems i went back to a 2.4.21_rc8-gss kernel (this kernel because of the good support of nforce 2 mainboards).

Also i am using the GCC 3.3. But i do not think, that that is the problem, because i have already compiled the nvidia-kernel with that compiler.

OK here is what i get, when i try to emerge nvidia-kernel (that last not masked version, the unstable version brings up the same error):

An emerge sync does not solve this problem.

I hope someone can help me,

You aren't using the latest version. Problably you're using an outdated resync mirror. Emerge sync and then emerge the latest version:

sorry people, you both are wrong

To:

first of all the 1.0.4349-r2 is the lastest stable relase and i am using an actuell rsync mirror and i have tried very often to emerge sync the last days to solve this problem.

second of all the never unstable ebuild wich you had mentioned has the same problem also. The problem also is there when i pick up the kernel modul from nvidia.com.

Thanks for your try to help me.

hype:

No the message seems to say that.

But, i have used GCC 3.3 for both. the kernel and the nvidia-kernel. There is no other gcc on my system and i have compiled a lot of kernels the last days.

And if you lock exactly at the error message you see, that the error message is not that i am using a differnt gcc version to compile the nvidia-kernel as for the kernel.

The error message is /bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `Gentoo' and the rest of the message is a quote of this line 1. And in this line there are echo comands which are able to output such an error as you have mentioned.

So also thanks to you for your try, but still no solution.

Ah I also checked the ebuild which does make IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH="yes" so that couldn't even be the problem when using the ebuild.

Yes, To but as he said the "unstable" version 1.0.4363-r2 gives the same error so it is not a solution - (I checked it is indeed ~x86 masked).

Try removing relevant files from /usr/portage/distfiles.
