[Linux-ia64] Problem about NVidia driver 1.0-2880 on Linux-ia64 kernel 2.4.18

There is no any mistake reported when build and install NVIDIA_kernel
dirver and NVIDIA_GLX driver.
glxinfo of XFree86 can provide corrent information after the new driver
is installed.
My OpenGL programs work well without recompilation.But when I rebuild
them, the ld report
                      /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1: undefined reference to
'__nvsym10421'

The RedHat Linux for Itanium 7.1 installed on my machine has a version
2.4.3 kernel, which  cannot match the requirement of the NVdriver. So I
downloaded and installed the 2.4.18 kernel.
I unpack linux kernel 2.4.18 at ~/linux and build it successfully. It
works well also.

when I build the NVIDIA_kernel driver, I use the following command :
   make SYSINCLUDE=~/linux/include

I have tried several time to rebuild the driver. But the results are
same.

Yi-

Last I heard nVidia drivers for Linux consisted of source wrappers
around a binary only driver.  Unless you can get nVidia to release
ALL of their driver source (extremely unlikely) or, alternatively, get
nVidia to rlease IA64 binaries you're pretty much out of luck.

I think this particular problem is a user-level issue and unrelated to
the binary-only driver.

I'm not sure what's wrong here, but one experiment that you might want
to try is to build your OpenGL application against the normal XFree86
libraries.  Once you have the binary, you should be able to switch to
the Nvidia libraries.  Hopefully, that will make the problem go away
without losing performance.
