[SOLVED] Nvidia Installer Won't Install!

lloydsmart · 10-16-2009, 07:50 AM

Hi. I know there are a number of threads with a similar title, but none of them have addressed the problem in a way which would work for me.

Basically, I've just built an LFS system for x86_64, added quite a few packages from CBLFS, and installed X. So far so good, but when I try to install the Nvidia drivers, I get the following error message:

Code:

Verifying archive integrity... OK
Uncompressing NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86_64 190.36.............................................................................................................................................................

NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.36-pkg2.run: line 807: ./nvidia-installer: No such file or directory

any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks!

P.S. I can't apt-get or RPM anything.

Great! That did it. Just for anyone who may stumble upon this thread in the future, I'll copy over the posts that helped me.

That's because the x86_64 ABI specifies the 64-bit program loader to be /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2. You can't expect 64-bit programs to run without that.

So thanks! I created that simlink, and problem solved.

Glad to hear it worked for you.
And thanks for coming back and posting the solution.
