Being kind of a Gentoo newbie and not a programmer or developer, I am not sure what the problem could be. I have tried this on two different computers and always get the same result. Since everything seems to work except for the recurring revdep-rebuild issue, I am choosing to ignore it at this time. I did look into the drivers on the nVidia web site per rob's suggestion. The extensive install notes showed me a possible solution. It involves checking for conflicting libraries and/or symlinks. Sounds like it could be what I am experiencing. I will experiment with that although I am not sure I will know what I am doing. No matter though. I am retired and am experimenting with Genoo on testing machines, so it doesn't really matter if I break something. I have learned a lot about Gentoo this way and I am getting better with it. I was thinking someone else may have experienced the same problem and had found the solution. Thanks, all! I will keep my eyes on the gentoo-user list. If I succeed in solving this issue, I will let you all know. Bill -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] nvidia-drivers and revdep-rebuild problems
---BeginMessage--- Hi, all. I try to avoid posting to the list as I try to resolve problems on my own. However, I have run into this problem that I can't get resolved. I am pretty much a Gentoo newbie, but less so with linux. I have successfully installed Gentoo 2006.0 from the Universal Install CD (amd64 arch). I am have Xorg-x11 7.0 emerged and, I think, configured correctly - no unresolved EEs or WWs in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Using startx brings up twm and it looks fine. Regarding the nvidia-drivers, I first emerged nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel. While running # revdep-rebuild, I get this message: broken /usr/lib32/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so.1.0.8756 \ (requires libGLcore.so.1 libX11.so.6 libXext.so.6 libnvidia-tls.so.1) After running # eselect opengl set nvidia, revdep-rebuild produces this: broken /usr/lib32/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so.1.0.8756 \ (requires libX11.so.6 libXext.so.6) I found when I removed nvidia (# emerge -C nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel) and rerun # revdep-rebuild, the output is clean - all linking consistent. As an experiment, I emerged the new nvidia-drivers (using keyword ~amd64). running # revdep-rebuild resulted in the same broken output as the first one above. I followed the migrating to modular x guide and the nvidia guide. I have checked the gentoo wiki and even tried googling for the solution, but have been unable to find the solution. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Bill W. ---End Message---

If it's only that you're getting messages re running Revdep-rebuild given that you're a newcomer to Gentoo, the answer is probably simply that R-r is an imperfect tool more often than not cb ignored. Sometimes the emerge output warns you to run R-r, but when you do -- with '--pretend' -- , it simply wants to remerge the same package ! So if nothing is noticeably wrong, just ignore the R-r warnings. -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban Community Studies TRANSIT`-O--O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
