When attempting to rebuild nvidia driver after kernel upgrade I get this error (as noted in sgfxi log):

:: Code ::
Function: check_package_status - Utility: End
  ERROR: (230) Could not detect gcc version: /usr/bin/gcc-, or it is not installed.
Please let the script maintainer know, this may be a bug in the script.

Seems gcc is now symlinked to gcc-10 and perhaps the dash in the directory name got incorrectly parsed. Let me know if you need more information or the complete sgfxi log

Thanks,

Thanks, I took a look at the code and actually can't figure out what's going on.

Post the output of: cat /proc/version

it's possible your distro is using yet another different syntax for /proc/version, we'll see, but that's what it looks like. However, since your distro is my distro, that shouldn't matter much, although I'm stuck on an older kernel due to driver support issues, so I am not running the latest kernels.

In theory inxi -Sx and sgfxi should be running roughly the same tests on this, with the same steps of detection to handle different syntaxes. If current inxi shows gcc version and sgfxi errors out, that's probably a tiny regex bug, but your /proc/version will show me that.

Here's the output of the command:

:: Code ::

~$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 5.9.0-4-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc-10 (Debian 10.2.0-19) 10.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.35.1) #1 SMP Debian 5.9.11-1 (2020-11-27)


Edit:

Adding the output of inxi -Sx:

:: Code ::
~$ inxi -Sx
System:
  Host: myhost Kernel: 5.9.0-4-amd64 x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 10.2.0
  Desktop: Xfce Distro: BunsenLabs GNU/Linux 10.5 (Lithium)

I am on Debian Sid. I did an update today and got the same error (it worked fine until I updated, lest update was this month). I did

apt install gcc-

and it installed the packages, but I still get the error. I tried to use

sgfxi --debugger

but it hangs at the line "using perl".

Update:

I reinstalled the latest 5.9.0-5 debian kernel package and here's the proc info for it:

:: Code ::
~$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 5.9.0-5-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc-10 (Debian 10.2.1-1) 10.2.1 20201207, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.35.1) #1 SMP Debian 5.9.15-1 (2020-12-17)


Hope this will help in determining the issue.

This is corrected, basically inxi and sgfxi use the same regex, but I forgot to update sgfxi with the last modification I did to catch the data string data when I updated inxi. Or rather, it should be corrected.

Thanks for spotting the regex and now I am able to build the nvidia driver via sgfxi. Everything now works perfectly so this can be marked SOLVED :-)

Yes, it works now, thanks. Sorry for responding late.
