As the title says, I have some troubles with the official nvidia drivers, if I compile them the following error occurs:

localhost ~ # emerge -avt nvidia-drivers

la prima: Why does the error "make: *** [select_makefile] Error 1" appear?
Is CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu- corret??
As you can notice the main problem is: "Unable to determine the target kernel version" ! But I use eselect to select the kernel:

Code: Select all

Available kernel symlink targets:

  [2]   linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r3 *

I tried using both...
I post other parameters to be more exhaustive:

The stable nvidia-drivers doesn't build with the ~arch kernel, currently the ~arch nvidia-driver version is 185.18.36-r1, use this.

Someone else had a similar problem.

What does

Code: Select all

gcc-config -l

return

The stable nvidia-drivers doesn't build with the ~arch kernel, currently the ~arch nvidia-driver version is 185.18.36-r1, use this.

I tried these versions :

180.60        on kernel 30 
185.18.36   on kernel 31 and zen-kernel 
190.42        on kernel 31 and zen-kernel

gcc-config -l

I was pretty sure you were going to report that type of gcc-config

"gcc-config 2" and try the emerge again ( I believe that is what the other person did to get it to compile)

Yes! Now all ok...
Many thanks!!!!!!

Anon-E-moose · Post by **Anon-E-moose** » Sat Oct 24, 2009 8:43 pm

Once it emerges fine, then reset "gcc-config 1" to where it was.

Pes88 · Post by **Pes88** » Sat Oct 24, 2009 8:49 pm

ok!!!
but why?
What is the difference???

Well, you have compiled everything else with the gcc-config 1 version
so I would stay with that, just to be safe.
