Default /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers: No such file or directory
I recieved this error when attempting to install the new Nvidia blob.
Here's the whole story:
In anticipation of wanting to make use of the Linux OpenGL that the Nvidia driver natively supports. I echoed
linux_enable=\"YES\" >> /etc/rc.conf
then
# kldload linux
then proceeded by installing emulators/fedora_base-f10
then installing the xorg server. And finally unpacking the Nvidia blob version 195.36.24.
Following the instructions provided for FreeBSD @ Nvidia:
as root
# cd unpacked-nvidia-driver
then
# make install
which resulted in make success, but install failure:
install: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers: No such file or directory

Not sure what went wrong, but the drivers directory exists in /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules
But I think a symlink was supposed to be made in the X11R6 tree. Not sure how best to proceed. Anyone have any thoughts/suggestions?

Thank you for all your time and consideration.

Thumbs up [SOLVED] /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers: No such file or directory
Whoo hoo! That did it - well, almost.
Here's the answer, the variable:
Code:
.if !defined(X11BASE)
X11BASE=	/usr/X11R6
Must be changed in all subdirs in the:
Nvidia-driver-dir/xll
folder. eg;
xll/bin
x11/driver
x11/extension
x11/man
to:
Code:
.if !defined(X11BASE)
X11BASE=	/usr/local
then it will be safe to perform a
# make install
from the root of the freshly extracted Nvidia-driver-dir.

Thanks again for your responses!

OK Forgot to include:
Nvidia-driver-dir/lib
So the Makefile contained there-in ALSO needs to read:
Code:
.if !defined(X11BASE)
X11BASE=	/usr/local
ALTHO - the whole thing could have been easer:
# cd <Nvidia-driver-dir>
# make -DX11BASE=/usr/local install
But that would have been too easy.

Hope this might help others!

Best wishes.

Dang, this

Code:
# make -DX11BASE=/usr/local install
seemingly has no effect here.
Guess I'll do it the long way.
Cheers.

Use the port, x11/nvidia-driver. Change the version numbers in the port's Makefile if you want.
