I am running a chroot enviroment making a new root partition. For some reason, when trying to compile the nvidia driver it doesn't recognize the kernel version I am using because I get "*** Unable to determine the target kernel version. ***:

Code:

>>> Emerging (1 of 1) x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-304.64

 * Found sources for kernel version:
 *     3.7.10-gentoo
 * Gentoo supports kernels which are supported by NVIDIA
 * which are limited to the following kernels:
 * <sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.7
 * <sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-3.7
 *
 * You are free to utilize epatch_user to provide whatever

If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
you either have configured kernel sources matching your
kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
on your system.

If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
installed on your system. If you specified a separate
output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the
kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

know issue, nvidia drivers have problem with 3.7+ kernel for now, some solves exists, check : https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-951692.html
even it's for 3.8 series, in it you will find the posts for 3.7
