I emerged emul-linux-x86-nvidia an may gentoo64 with the --nodeps flag. Now the problem is that I cant uninstall the package and it blocks mv nvidia-"glx,kernel.." packeges from installing.

emerge --pretend nvidia-glx
[blocks B ] app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-nvidia (is blocking media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.6629-r6)
[ebuild N ] media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r4
[ebuild N ] media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.6629-r6

If I try to remove it:
emerge -C emul-linux-x86-nvidia-1.0.6629
the bastard echos this:

>>> Unmerging app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-nvidia-1.0.6629...
No package files given... Grabbing a set.
* It appears you have switched to the 2005.0 profile without following
* the upgrade guide. Please see the following URL for more information:

Help me get a working enemy-territory installation as fast as possible...

can i suggest seeing the "following URL" it mentions there??

The upgrademanual says S*ABOUT *! .. Im googling the whole day for that and am realy anoyed. Help me or *

get the nvidia driver from the nvidia web site and install it with the install script these are more up to date then the ones available through portage any way and they work fine in gentoo for me

I installed the drivers from nvidias page ... it compiles and installs the 64bit stuff.. But if I say yes to the 32 bit libs the program echos the following libs missing:
libGL.so.1 libGL.so libGLcore.so.1 libnvidia-tls.so.1
And I get this error from running enemy territory:

if you wish to be a member of LQ.org, post politely or don't post at all. It's not my problem you can't use google correctly.

I know...im sorry.. but this simple problem is making me crazy :/
And I asked alredy on many forums..but no help all I get is answers what I dont know etc.. Like nobody is using a 64 bit os.

When I run NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-7664-pkg2.run the installer retirns this error

ERROR: The runtime configuration check failed for library 'libGL.so.1.0.7664'
(expected: '/usr/lib64/libGL.so.1', found: 'not'). The most likely
reason for this is that conflicting OpenGL libraries are installed in a
location not inspected by `nvidia-installer`. Please be sure you have
uninstalled any third-party OpenGL and third-party graphics driver
packages.
-> done.
...saying that the missing libGLs allredy exist in /usr/lib/ . But thats a link to lib64. I realy so tired of this...Its realy a leme situation... and I cant unmerge emul-linux-x86-nvidia ... its blocked...... I think I emerge the old removepkg.

moving to distro's

TRy emerge -C app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-nvidia without all the numbers

emerge -C nvidia-kernel (its worth a try)
also you may be able to do a emerge -pC nvidia-kernel to see
what is blocking it.nvidia-glx may be blocking?
