I cleared the tmp files to give it a fresh start. It still failed. The
directory and files it complains about being missing, they are. I went
to the ebuild to see what patches are supposed to be installed. This is
the part of the ebuild.
PATCHES=(
"${FILESDIR}"/nvidia-drivers-470.141.03-clang15.patch
"${FILESDIR}"/nvidia-modprobe-390.141-uvm-perms.patch
"${FILESDIR}"/nvidia-settings-390.144-desktop.patch
"${FILESDIR}"/nvidia-settings-390.144-no-gtk2.patch
"${FILESDIR}"/nvidia-settings-390.144-raw-ldflags.patch
)
As you can see, it wants to apply patches from several versions so while
odd, I guess it really does it that way. I suspect given the age of the
drivers that the patches no longer exist or something. I'd think it
would report it couldn't download the files but maybe not. I may be
running out of luck here. Odd thing is, it compiled a while back.
I tried to google and find the patch, no luck. No idea where it comes
from. May run emerge -ef nvidia-drivers and see if it works.
Also, I switch to the current kernel, it failed in the same way. It
isn't just the new kernel, it seems to be any of them. I wonder how
hard it is to switch to that other driver. From the wiki page, it looks
like a big deal.
