In previous versions everything related to nvml.h was masked, but this version of nvidia-settings expects it to be already present, somehow.

See also https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597998 which is held up because we install the driver and -settings as one package.

#2

I’ve rev-bumped my Gentoo nvidia-driver install to 375.10. But I’ve had to build it without the settings GUI (which is pretty essential IMHO)… The driver appears to work fine apart from this issue.

#3

The lack of nvml.h was an oversight in the packaging step. I ported the fix (plus a few other fixes) to the GitHub mirror of nvidia-settings, so you could build from that or cherry-pick the fix as a patch in your Gentoo ebuild.

Alternatively, you could use the pre-built binaries from the .run package.

nvml.h fix:


All the changes I pushed on Friday:

These fixes should all be in the next official release.

Thanks Aaron,

that’s fixed the 375.10 issues (since we can just download the nvml.h header file in the ebuild).
