I've installed version 10.0 of XBMC from source code on my Slackware 13.0 64-bit linux box, kernel version 2.6.29.6.
I have an Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT, which has shader models 4.0, DX10 support, etc. I've downloaded the very latest 64-bit linux drivers from Nvidia (260.19.36) and manually installed them today, selected 'yes' to install the 32-bit compatibility drivers as well, and verified that the driver in use in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is 'nvidia', not 'nv' or 'vga'. I've rebooted my computer entirely since then, however, I'm still getting the following error when I try to run xbmc:
No logfile was created in ~/.XBMC/temp, there are no errors in the terminal from which I executed the command.
How can I resolve this error?
