I am trying to install nvidia-glx on my desktop running Vida LInux 1.1 i368 kernel 2.6.9-vidalinux1. I went on gentoo forums and found a good how-to on the subject. As it said I opened the terminal and typed in "emerge nvidia-glx" and then the system proceded to install nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx and commanded. however, 5 seconds into doing the kernel install i get an error that is stopping me from going any further. i am clueless about what to do with it:
the error:
any ideas?
the error:
