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.

In reply to Wang Yi

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.
