what changed with the way nvidia detects kernel version?
 
On Gentoo, emerging 190.42 works just fine. When I take that same ebuild and bump the version to 195.22, the compile always fails with the following message:

Code:

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. 

*** Unable to determine the target kernel version. ***
So I have to ask: did anything change as far as how nvidia detects the kernel? Even though at the beginning it looks like nvidia already detects the kernel...

I've never had an issue with bumping the ebuild version until this driver. As I said before, 190.42 still emerges fine, so I don't want to hear any "your config is screwed up" replies please :)

That took me also some time ;)
I've attached a solution

Using this ebuild it seems libvdpau_nvidia.so is not installed, any ideas?

Some install source paths has changed, just edit the ebuild with these changes :)

(starts at line 430, the two ${libdir}/libvdpau_nvidia.so.${sover} should read ${libdir}/vdpau/libvdpau_nvidia.so.${sover})

Nice! Thank you too!

Hi, thanks for the ebuild and patch, it works like a charm, but i have a little "problem" i get this error or warning:

Quote:
!!! dolib: usr/lib32/libnvcompiler.so.195.22 does not exist
!!! dolib: usr/lib/libnvcompiler.so.195.22 does not exist
Though /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so* do are created, what do i do? simply ignore that message?

Thanks for the ARCH detection fix :).

@ Txema: For the bug that "libnvcompiler.so.195.22 does not exist", please change all the references of "libnvcompiler" in the ebuild to "libnvidia-compiler". (Figured out by peeping into installer using "--extract-only" option.)

Also, if you already emerged the ebuild before, you may want to remove the bad links in /usr/lib/nvcompiler* and /usr/lib32/nvcompiler* .

Perfect! Thanks hdas ^^
